Baroque Français, also known as French Baroque, refers to a period of musical style and composition that flourished in France during the Baroque era, roughly spanning from the late 16th to the early 18th centuries. This period was marked by a distinct French style that emphasized elegance, clarity, and refinement in contrast to the more ornate and dramatic styles found in other parts of Europe.

French Baroque music is characterized by its use of ornamentation, rich harmonies, and instrumental color. Important French Baroque composers include Jean-Baptiste Lully, François Couperin, and Jean-Philippe Rameau, among others. Their music was often associated with the French court, where they composed music for the royal court's ballets, operas, and other theatrical productions.
