}} | Lavoisier was a protected cruiser of the French Navy, named in honour of Antoine Lavoisier. Launched in Rochefort in April 1896, Lavoisier entered service in December 1897. She was then sent to Toulon as a replacement for the ageing {{ship|French cruiser|Cosmao||2}}. In 1903, she replaced the cruiser {{ship|French cruiser|Isly||2}} as division chief at the station of Newfoundland. During the First World War, Lavoisier patrolled the Atlantic and the English Channel, before being sent in Eastern Mediterranean in 1915. In 1919, she was appointed to the station of Syria. She was struck in 1920, and sold for scrap the next year.
