Jean-François Larios (born 27 August 1956) is a French former professional football midfielder. He earned seventeen international caps (five goals) for the France national team during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

A player of Saint-Étienne, Larios was a member of the French squad in the 1982 World Cup. However, he played only two matches after rumours surfaced that he was having an affair with Michel Platini's wife. In 1983 Larios became one of the very few French players to appear in the North American Soccer League when he joined the Montreal Manic.
