Cancor (died 771) was a Frankish count associated with Lorsch Abbey. He was son of a noble lady, Williswinda.

Since Williswinda's only known husband before being widowed was named Robert (Rodbert), it has been proposed that Cancor was a son of Robert, Count or Duke in the Hesbaye, who lived in the 8th century. Robert II of Hesbaye may have been his brother or his nephew.
