The Régénérée was a 40-gun Cocarde class frigate of the French Navy.
In 1796, she was commanded by captain Willaumez, in a squadron under Sercey.
In early 1800, Régénérée left Rochefort with Africaine to ferry supplies to Alexandria. Africaine was captured by the British on the journey, but Régénérée managed to complete her mission.
She remained there until the capitulation of the town, on 2 September 1801. She was then brought into Royal Navy service as HMS Alexandria.
