Francine Stock (born 14 March 1958) is a British radio and television presenter and novelist, of part-French origin.
After her early years in Edinburgh and Australia, she was educated at St Catherine's School, Bramley, Surrey and is a graduate of Jesus College, Oxford, with a degree in Modern Languages (French and Italian).
At first she reported on financial news and worked as a radio producer, later moving into television as presenter of Newsnight and (briefly, after serious illness) on The Money Programme on BBC2.
She also presents "The Cultural Front" on BBC Radio 4 which examines the First World War and how it changed society and the arts.
As a novelist, Stock has published two works of fiction: A Foreign Country (1999, shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel award) and Man-Made Fibre (2002).
