The Ville de Varsovie was a Bucentaure-class 80-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, designed by Chaumont from original plans by Sané.
Built as Tonnant, she was renamed Ville de Varsovie while still under construction. She was commissioned on 18 June 1808 under captain Mahé, and was part of the Rochefort squadron.
She was destroyed by fire by a British party after running aground during the Battle of the Basque Roads.
