Héros ("hero") was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, built by Joseph Chapelle at Brest and launched on 1 September 1752.

In April 1756, Héros sailed from Brest, armed en flute, and under the command of Captain Beaussier de Lisle.

She was part of a squadron of three transports and three frigates taking troops to Fort Louisbourg and supplies to Ile Royale during the French and Indian War.

[1] In 1756, Beaussier de Lisle brought six ships to Quebec carrying Montcalm and 1,300 troops as reinforcements.

During the Battle of Quiberon Bay, Héros attempted to escape but was wrecked off le Croisic and scuttled.
