The Soleil was a 38-gun ship of the line of the French Royal Navy, designed by Deviot and constructed by the Dutch shipwright Jan Gron (usually called Jean de Werth in French) at the new state dockyard at Île d'Indret near Nantes.

She and her sister Lune were two-deckers, with a mixture of bronze guns on both gun decks.

The Soleil took part in the Battle of Orbitello on 14 June 1646, as the flagship of Chef d'escadre Marquis de Montigny, and in the Battle of Castellammare on 21/22 December 1647.

She was condemned on 28 June 1672 and sold in August to be taken to pieces.
