The French Athletics Championships (French: Championnats de France d'athlétisme) is a series of annual outdoor competition in the sport of athletics, organised by the Fédération française d'athlétisme (FFA; French Athletics Federation), which serve as the French national championships. The winners of the events are typically French nationals, though foreign athletes have also won at the championships, typically competing through invitation or as a foreign athlete based at an athletics club in France. Most typical is the presence of African athletes from the Françafrique region.
