François-Xavier Genthon dit Dauphinais (January 1, 1815 – February 1889) was a political figure in Manitoba of Métis descent. He served as a member of the Provisional Government of Assiniboia and was a member of the Legislative Council of Manitoba from 1871 to 1876.
The son of Michel Genthon dit Dauphinais and Victorie Ouellette, he represented St. François Xavier at the 1869 convention and served as vice-president of the Provisional Government. He was arrested by Wolseley's troops in 1870.
