フランス語(フランスご、français フランス語発音: [fʁɑ̃sɛ] フランセ)は、インド・ヨーロッパ語族のイタリック語派に属する言語。ロマンス諸語の一つで、ラテン語の口語(俗ラテン語)から変化したフランス北部のオイル語(またはウィ語、langue d'oïl)が母体と言われている。日本語では、仏蘭西語、略して仏語(ふつご)とも書く。 フランス語という呼び方は、多くの言語(オック語、アルピタン語など)が存在するフランスにおいて誤解を招く可能性もあるので、単にオイル語と呼んでフランスの他の言語と区別することもある。 世界で英語(約80の国・地域)に次ぐ2番目に多くの国・地域で使用されている言語で、フランス、スイス、ベルギー、カナダのほか、かつてフランスやベルギーの領域だった諸国を中心に29ヶ国で公用語になっている(フランス語圏を参照)。全世界で1億2300万人が主要言語として使用し、総話者数は2億人以上である。国際連合、欧州連合などの公用語の一つにも選ばれている。このフランス語の話者を、フランコフォン(francophone、英語版)と言う。
