Francis Bouillon (b. October 17, 1975 in New York City) is a professional hockey defenceman. Bouillon was born to a French Canadian mother and a Haitian father. He currently plays for the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens.

He was signed as a free agent by the Montreal Canadiens in1998 with which he has played most of his career (except for a short stint with the Nashville Predators in 2002-2003). At 5'9" and 201 lbs^[1], Bouillon is considered small for an NHL defensemen but is never one to shy away from physical play. It is not unusual to see bigger players get surprised by his strength when they attempt to squeeze between him and the boards. Even though born in the United States, Canadiens fans are very fond of Bouillon as he is one of the few remaining french-speaking players left on the team and is considered (by fans of the team) as a very underrated defenceman in the NHL.
