Louis-François Metra[1] (1738 – 11 December 1804) was an 18th-century French journalist.
Banker and correspondent of Prussian king Frederick the Great, Metra mismanaged his business and took refuge in Neuwied, where he printed his weekly review Correspondance littéraire secrète [fr] for which he is mostly known.
The French journalist De Beaunoir also wrote for the review.
Metra also collaborated with Nouvelliste politique d’Allemagne published in Cologne in 1780.
