The Inflexible was a 90-gun Suffren-class Ship of the line of the French Navy

Commissioned in Rochefort in 1840, Inflexible was appointed to the Mediterranean squadron, where she served from 1841 under Captain Guérin des Essarts.

From 1860, she was used as a boys' school in Brest, and was eventually broken up in 1875.
