Frans (or François, Francesco, Franciscus) Krafft (17 February 1729 in Brussels – 13 January 1795 in Ghent) was a composer, organist and director in the Austrian Netherlands (the current Belgium).
He was organist at the Saint Bavo Cathedral in Ghent from 1769 to 1794.
He is sometimes erroneously named Frans-Joseph, but that is actually his elder brother, born in 1721.
He is not to be confused with his cousin, also named Frans Krafft and also born in Brussels in 1733, who later moved to Germany.
