This is a list of French ship Classes of World War II. This includes ship Classes used by the French Third Republic, Vichy France and Free France.The sections of the last are in chronological order with the first ships into service being first and the last ships into service being last.
Due to there being three French factions in World War II I will note beside each class its French users.
