The 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (French: 1^er Régiment de Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine) or 1^er RPIMa is a unit of the French Army Special Forces Command, therefore part of the Special Operations Command.

Heirs to the Free French paratroopers of the 3rd and 4th squadrons of the Special Air Service (SAS) founded in the United Kingdom during WWII, the 1er RPIMa is sometimes referred to as the "French SAS" and still uses the same motto as their British counterparts to this day: Qui ose gagne (French for "Who Dares Wins").
