Nicolas Morice (French pronunciation: [nikɔlɑ mɔʁis]; born c. 1774) was a French navy officer.
[1] He took part in the Battle of Grand Port, where he captained the corvette Victor.
He took command of the frigate Andromaque, part of a squadron raiding commerce in the Atlantic, along with the Ariane, under Jean-Baptiste-Henri Féretier.
Andromaque was destroyed upon her return to Lorient after catching fire during an artillery duel with the 74-gun HMS Northumberland during the action of 22 May 1812.
Feretier and Morice were court-martialed for the loss of their ships, stripped of their rank, and forbidden from commanding a ship for three years.
