François Louis Ganshof (14 March 1895 – 26 July 1980) was a Belgian medievalist.
After studies at the Athénée Royal, he attended the University of Ghent, where he came under the influence of Henri Pirenne.
After studies with Ferdinand Lot, he practiced law for a period, before returning to the University of Ghent.
Ganshof was renowned as the greatest European expert on the Frankish kingdoms, particularly under the Carolingian dynasty; he never wrote the definitive biography of Charlemagne that everyone expected of him, but his contributions to Frankish history continue to be fundamental.
This collection of major articles ends with an exhaustive bibliography of Ganshof's writings on Merovingian and Carolingian history down to 1970.
