Saint-François (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t fʁɑ̃swaz]) is a provincial electoral district in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It notably includes parts of the city of Sherbrooke as well as the municipalities of Coaticook and Compton.

It was created for the 1973 election from parts of Compton, Richmond and Sherbrooke electoral districts.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it gained territory from Orford and Mégantic-Compton electoral districts, and also gained the Brompton borough of Sherbrooke from Johnson electoral district.
