ARA Fournier (M-5) was a Bouchard-class minesweeper of the Argentine Navy. As the rest of her class, Fournier was basically designed for coastal or riverine service; notwithstanding, the Argentine Navy deployed the Bouchards to the South Atlantic in patrol and resupply missions, The weight of her armament and the low upper works resulted in the ships' unstability in open seas.
