The Agréable ("pleasant") was a 56-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

She was laid down in 1670 as Glorieux ("Glorious") and renamed to Agréable shortly after her launching on 14 June 1671.[1]

In 1700, she departed France for India in order to ferry a load of gold back to France. In 1701, Agréable, along with the Aurore, Mutine and Saint-Louis, were attacked off Île Bourbon. Damaged, the Agréable made repairs at Île Bourbon, where the treasure was hidden.[2]

In 1711, Agréable was converted to a hulk, and she was eventually scrapped in 1717.[1]
