The Insurgente was a 40-gun Sémillante class frigate of the French Navy commanded by Captain Michael-Pierre Barreaut. She was engaged and captured by USS Constellation, Captain Thomas Truxtun in command, off the island of Nevis during the Quasi-War. After capture she served in the US Navy patrolling the waters in the West Indies. Some time later she was caught up in a severe storm and was presumed lost at sea.
