François Hesnault (born December 30, 1956 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) is a former Formula One driver from France. He participated in 21 grands prix, debuting on March 25, 1984. He scored no championship points.
After a season with Ligier he was hired to be Nelson Piquet's team-mate at Brabham, but he was sacked after four uncompetitive races, only returning for a one-off race in a third Renault which carried a prototype onboard camera, making it the first use of this technology in a Grand Prix. This is also the last race in which three cars have been entered for the same team (current third drivers are not eligible to compete in the races).
