Incorruptible was a 40-gun {{sclass|Romaine|frigate}} of the French Navy.
On 15 July 1796, under captain Bescond, she fought against the 56-gun {{HMS|Glatton|1795|6}}.
In 1800, she was involved in the battle of Dunkirk.
In January 1805, she was sent to observe British movements off Toulon, along with {{ship|French frigate|Hortense|1803|2}}. On 4 February, they attacked a convoy, destroying 7 ships. Three days later, they encountered the convoy escorted by the 20-gun sloop {{HMS|Arrow|1796|6}} and the 8-gun bomb vessel {{HMS|Acheron|1803|6}}; the frigates destroyed two Royal Navy vessels, and captured and burnt {{ship||Duchess of Rutland|1799 ship|2}} and two other merchant vessels of the convoy.
In May 1807, Incorruptible, Annibal, {{ship|French frigate|Pomone|1805|2}}, and the corvette Victorieuse engaged {{HMS|Spartan|1806|6}} off Cabrera in the Mediterranean.
