The 94th Infantry Regiment (94e régiment d’infanterie or 94e RI) is a French Army regiment. It originated in 1709 as a German regiment in the French army known as the régiment Royal-Bavière. From 1780 to 1791 it was known as the régiment Royal-Hesse-Darmstadt. It is the inheritor of the traditions of the Imperial Guard and thus is also known as the Grenadiers de la Garde or La Garde rather than by its number.
