The Courageux-class ships of the line were a class of six 74-gun third rates of the Royal Navy.
Their design was a direct copy of the French ship Courageux, captured in 1761 by HMS Bellona.
A further two ships of the class were built to a slightly lengthened version of the Courageux draught.
A final two ships were ordered to a third modification of the draught.
