The following is a (currently) incomplete list of ambassadors of France to Greece.

For ambassadors and high-ranking diplomats of France in Greece who were active between 1815 and 1905, the data below is taken from a list of diplomats published in 1906 by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1] For ambassadors and diplomats who were active after 1944, the data comes from two more recent lists also compiled by the ministry.[2][3] Additional individual references are given in the table.
