Var was a Durance-class command and replenishment tanker of the French Navy. In addition to its primary duty as a fleet tanker, Var was configured as a flagship and served as such in the Indian Ocean. The ship was laid down on 8 May 1979 by Brest Arsenal at their yard in Brest, France. She was launched on 1 June 1981, commissioned on 29 January 1983 and assigned to the Force d'action navale. Var took part in several multi-national operations. The tanker was decommissioned on 1 July 2021.

The Durance class is a series of multi-product replenishment oilers, originally designed and built for service in the French Navy. Besides the five ships built for the French Navy, a sixth was built for the Royal Australian Navy, while the lead ship of the class currently serves with the Argentine Navy. Two ships of a similar but smaller design are in service with the Royal Saudi Navy as the Boraida-class replenishment oilers.
