François Henri de Kinschot (1 May 1577 – 5 May 1651), lord of Rivieren, Jette, Ganshoren, etc., was a Netherlandish jurist and chancellor of Brabant. He graduated Licentiate of Laws from the University of Douai and was called to the bar of the Council of Brabant. He married Marguerite, daughter of Adrien Boote, and in 1630 succeeded his father-in-law as Treasurer General and Chief of Finances to Archduke Albert. Under Philip IV of Spain he was appointed a member of the Council of State and a knight of the Order of Santiago. In 1649 he succeeded Ferdinand de Boisschot as Chancellor of Brabant. He died in 1651.
