La Bastiaise was a Flower-class corvette of the French Navy (Marine nationale). The ship was built by the British shipyard Smiths Dock in their Middlesbrough shipyard, and was completed in June 1940, just before the French Armistice with Germany. She was sunk by a mine on 22 June 1940 during sea trials.

The name La Bastiaise was in honour of the inhabitants of the city of Bastia, Corsica.
