Jean Bart was a third-rate Suffren-class ship of the line built for the French Navy during the 1850s. She had been laid down as a sailing ship of the line, but remained on the stocks until she was chosen for conversion to steam power in 1850. The ship participated in the Crimean War of 1854–1855. From 1864, Jean Bart served as a training ship. She exchanged names with Donawerth in 1868, and was scrapped the following year.
