The Raphaël Fishing Company Ltd is a Mauritian fishing company incorporated as Company C404 on 7th July 1927 in Port Louis, Mauritius. Company C404 is the oldest continuously registered commercial company in Mauritius on record.

The company is a fisheries company which is notable under common law for having set legal precedent in the conversion of its 124-year old unlimited jouissance (permanent lease/999-year lease) into a permanent grant by the UK Privy Council in 2008 giving it title to thirteen islands known as The Thirteen Islands of St Brandon in the Indian Ocean on the isolated archipelago of the Cargados Carajos shoals.
