Francis Anthony Comper CM (born 24 April 1945) is a Canadian retired banker who served as president, chairman of the board, and chief executive officer of the Bank of Montreal.

[3] In 2020, his memoir, Personal Account: 25 Tales About Leadership, Learning, and Legacy from a Lifetime at Bank of Montreal, was published by ECW Press.

[6] Comper has been criticized in the past for his high salary and bonus which, according to some observers, is out of proportion to his value as a president of a fairly standard banking operation.

This announcement came at the same time as BMO posted disappointing fourth quarter results, though they were record profits for the bank due to lower taxes and bad loans.

He was succeeded by Bill Downe, who had been the frontrunner for the CEO position for the last few years, and formerly chief operating officer of BMO.

"[10] In 2010, Comper was made a Member of the Order of Canada, along with his wife Elizabeth (1945–2014),[11] "for their commitment to the community at large as active volunteers and philanthropists".
