Deux Frères (literally Two Brothers) was an 80-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

She was funded by a don des vaisseaux donation from the two brothers of King Louis XVI.[2] The ship was laid down at Brest in July 1782, and launched on 17 September 1784, based on a design by Antoine Groignard, and built by Jacques-Augustin Lamothe.[1] On 29 September 1792, she was renamed Juste.[2]

She was captured by HMS Queen Charlotte at the battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794, and was commissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS Juste. In July 1795 she was commissioned by Captain the Honourable Thomas Pakenham for service in the Channel, and was commissioned by Captain Sir Henry Trollope in June 1799. In 1801 she was commanded by Captains Herbert Sawyer, Richard Dacres — under whom she took part in Rear-Admiral Robert Calder's pursuit of Honoré Ganteaume's fleet to the West Indies — and Sir Edmund Nagle. By 1807 Juste was "in ordinary" at Plymouth.[3]

Juste was broken up in 1811.[2]
