Farfadet (Q7) was the lead ship of her class of four single-hulled submarines built for the French Navy at the beginning of the 20th century. Farfadet accidentally sank in July 1905 at Bizerte with the loss of 14 men of her crew; two men survived. She was later refloated and recommissioned as the Follet. She was stricken in November 1913.
