Frans av Sales (franska François de Sales), född 21 augusti 1567 nära Annecy, död 28 december 1622 i Lyon, var en fransk teolog och kyrkolärare. Han vördas som helgon inom Katolska kyrkan. Hans minnesdag firas den 24 januari. Han är mest känd för sin kamp mot de kalvinistiska lärorna, och är en av motreformationens mest framträdande personer, samt för sin mystika teologi, i vilken han är påverkad av Teresa av Ávila. Han instiftade Marie Besöks-orden, en klosterorden för kvinnor, medan prästkongregationen Don Boscos salesianer har namn efter honom.
