The 203mm/50 Modèle 1924 was a medium naval gun of the French Navy. The type was used on the Duquesne and Suffren classes of heavy cruisers as main battery mounted in four twin turrets weighing 180 tonnes each. The calibre of 203mm (8 inches) was characteristic of heavy cruisers built as a result of limitations imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922.
