This article lists diplomatic missions resident in France. At present, the capital city of Paris hosts 161 embassies. Major cities such as Lyon, Marseille, and Strasbourg are host to consulates and consulates-general.

France also hosts the headquarters of international organizations, the most important being the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris, and the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. As such, several sending countries may have missions or delegations to those organizations that are separate from their embassies in Paris or their consulates in Strasbourg.

Several other countries have non-resident ambassadors accredited to France, with most being resident in Brussels or London.

This listing excludes honorary consulates and trade missions.
