Mulhouse was an armoured cruiser of the French Navy. She was formerly the German cruiser SMS Stralsund, ceded to France as a war reparation in 1920 and commissioned as Mulhouse.
She was the first class of ship whose armour was built directly with the hull, rather than bolted to it.
She was the flagship of the 2nd squadron of Brest.
