Louis Vincent François (24 July 1906 – 15 November 1986) was a Greco-Roman wrestler from France who won a bronze medal at the 1932 Summer Olympics.

François was born in a family of miners, which later moved to Paris and became cement workers. He won seven national titles, in 1928, 1930–33, 1935 and 1937. François was a policeman by profession, and in parallel worked as a wrestling coach and referee.
