The Montañés class were an intended series of 74-gun ships of the line designed and built between 1792 and 1798 by Julián Martín de Retamosa for the Spanish Navy. However, only the first — the Montañés — was built to this design. Instead, Retamosa replaced this by an entirely new design for a longer 80-gun ship — design to which the Neptuno (1795) and Argonauta (1798) were built.
