Triomphant was a first-rate three-decker ship of the line of the French Navy. She was armed with 94-98 guns, comprising twenty-eight 36-pounder guns on the lower deck, twenty-eight or thirty 18-pounder guns on the middle deck, and twenty-eight 8-pounder guns on the upper deck, with eight or ten 6-pounder guns on the quarterdeck and forecastle.
Designed by Laurent Coulomb, she was begun at Lorient in December 1692 and launched on 1 October 1693. She took part in the Battle of Vélez-Málaga on 13 August 1704. In July 1707 she was sunk in shallow water at Toulon to avoid the fire from bomb vessels, but was refloated in October. She was condemned at Toulon in June 1717, and was broken up in 1725 or 1726.
