The M89 class was a planned series of destroyers (torpilleur d'escadre) for the French Navy (Marine Nationale). Although initially designed in 1913, the scheduled construction of the two new destroyers was suspended due to the outbreak of World War I before either ship could be laid down. The two destroyers had not yet been given names, being known only by their planned construction numbers, M89 and M90.
