François Kellerman (1735-1820) was a French marshal during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.

He was made marshal in 1804, after nearly 50 years' service in the French army. He fought in the Seven Years' War at the battles of Bergen and Friedberg. He became a general in 1792 and won the Battle of Valmy against the Austrians.

He was detained during the Reign of Terror in 1793 and returned to command two years later.
