François d'Agincourt (also d'Agincour, Dagincourt, Dagincour) (1684 – 30 April 1758) was a French harpsichordist, organist, and composer.
He spent most of his life in Rouen, his native city, where he worked as organist of the Rouen Cathedral and of three smaller churches.
Highly regarded during his lifetime, d'Agincourt was one of the organists of the royal chapel.
The single surviving book of harpsichord music by him contains masterful pieces inspired by François Couperin; also extant are some 40 organ works that survive in manuscript copies.
