The Sibylle class was a class of five 32-gun sail frigates designed by Jacques-Noël Sané and built for the French Navy in the late 1770s. They carried 26 × 12-pounder guns on the upper deck and 6 × 8-pounder guns on the forecastle and quarterdeck.
Fate: Captured by the Royal Navy in December 1797, becoming HMS Nereide; retaken by the French Navy in August 1810, but destroyed at the Battle of Grand Port in December 1810.
