Eight ships of the French Navy have borne the name Flore (Flora):

  • (1707–1724), a 10-gun frigate
  • (1729–1754)
  • Flore (1769–1785)
  • Flore (1806–1811), a 44-gun frigate that took part in the Battle of Lissa
  • Flore (1803–1840)

The French ship Vestale (1756) was renamed HMS Flora after her capture by the Royal Navy, and was named Flore américaine after she was re-acquired from the United States.
