François Etoundi (born 6 October 1984 in Yaoundé) is a Cameroonian born Australian male weightlifter, competing in the 77 kg category and representing Australia at international competitions. He competed at world championships, most recently at the 2009 World Weightlifting Championships.

He competed in the men's 77 kg event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where he won a bronze medal. The following day, he was arrested for breaking the nose of fellow Welsh competitor Gareth Evans and ordered to pay £400 after appearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court. He was later stripped of his Commonwealth Games accreditation and sent home in disgrace.

On the 14th of April 2021, he was banned from competing for a three-year period by Sport Integrity Australia for failing to submit to sample collection.
