François Peraldi (May 2, 1938 – March 21, 1993) was a Canadian psychoanalyst and linguist.
Peraldi introduced Jacques Lacan's clinical work into North America.
He rejected the label Lacanian for himself and preferred to say he was engaged in "Lacanizing." Peraldi established a biweekly Peraldi Seminar for 15 years and established the Réseau des Cartels to help disseminate Lacan's and his group's ideas.
He died of AIDS in 1993.
