The Casabianca (ex-Bourgogne) is a first-generation nuclear attack submarine of the French Navy. She is named in honour of the famous submarine of the Free French Naval Forces Casabianca.

She is the third of the Rubis series. Between 1993 and June 1994, she undertook a major refitting which upgraded her to the level of the Améthyste.

During the Péan inter-allied manoeuvres of 1998, Casabianca managed to "sink" USS Eisenhower and her Ticonderoga class escort cruiser
