François Pitot was a French naval officer.

He took part in the Battle of Groix commanding the frigate Républicaine française. In 1796, his ship, renamed Renommée, was captured by the 74-gun HMS Alfred. Pitot was acquitted by the court-martial for the loss of his ship.[1]

In 1800, he captained Vengeance, fighting a battle against USS Constellation.
