François Clement ([1714, Bèze, Côte-d'Or – 29 March 1793, Paris) was a French historian and member of the Benedictine Congregation of St. Maur.
Clément's chief work is a revised edition of the chronology first issued by Clémencet in one volume, entitled: L'art de vérifier les dates des faits historiques.
A third edition (Paris, 1783–1787) embraced three folio volumes; in this the original underwent even greater alterations, and the Clément spent more than ten years working on it.
The unfinished work was completed by Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais and appeared with additional matter in eighteen volumes (Paris, 1818–19).
A work of less importance was one begun by Matthieu Poncet and edited by Clément, entitled Nouveaux éclaircissements sur l'origine et le Pentateuque des Samnaritains (Paris, 1760).
