Marie-Françoise André, born 21 November 1953 in Paris, is a French geographer and geomorphologist specialising in the study of landscape architecture in the polar regions (Labrador, Spitsbergen, Lapland, Antarctica).

A teacher-researcher in geomorphology, she was a member of CNRS's URA 1562 team in Clermont-Ferrand in 1993 and joined the Physical and Environmental Geography Laboratory (GEOLAB) in the same year, when it was created.

[8] As part of the multidisciplinary Ta Keo project in Angkor, using photogrammetry and geomatics, her team managed to show the protective role of the forest[9] and therefore link the acceleration of the temples' degradation to recent deforestation.

[10] This work on the causes and rates of degradation of the epidermis of monuments, as well as the link between geomorphology and heritage,[11] was awarded a silver medal from the CNRS.

[12] She continues her research in the French Massif Central,[13] in Southern America's Guyana[14] and in the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Cyprus.
