The Foudroyant was a First Rank ship of the line of the French Royal Navy.

[b] This ship was originally ordered built at Brest Dockyard on 20 January 1693, and Louis XIV ordered she should bear the name Soleil Royal to replace the previous ship bearing that name (destroyed at Cherbourg) in June 1692.

On 1 March 1693, the King agreed to Hubac's proposal and the names of the two ships were exchanged.

Pangalo's ship was thus laid down under the name Foudroyant in April 1693, launched on 14 November 1693 and completed in 1694.

She was scuttled in Toulon on Louis's orders in July 1707 to avoid being set alight by the bombardment by the English fleet.
