Francis Vidil (born 1961), is a French classical musician, performer and music professor.

Vidil is best known for his long-time affiliation with Versailles Conservatoire, where he became a Tenure Professor in 1996, as well as his numerous performances around the world.

Francis' father, at the time, chair organist of Saint Paul and Louis Church in Paris, brought him to a four-summer training in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, the cradle of baroque music.

His conservatory teachers wanted him to complete his piano studies before allowing him to officially learn the organ and, by the same token, forbid him to practice improvisation, which he continued to do anyway.

The Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume professors who decisively influenced his style were: André Stricker, Michel Chapuis, Huguette Dreyfus, and Xavier Darasse [1].
