Yatagan was a Framée-class destroyer built for the French Navy around the beginning of the 20th century.

Yatagan served on fishery protection duties during World War I. While thus engaged, she collided with the British steamer Teviot and sank in the English Channel off Dieppe, France, on 3 November 1916.^[1][2]
