François Louis de Bourbon (30 April 1664 – 9 February 1709) was Prince de Conti, succeeding his brother Louis Armand in 1685. Until this date he used the title of Prince of La Roche-sur-Yon. He was son of Armand de Bourbon and Anne Marie Martinozzi, herself a niece of Cardinal Mazarin. He is the most famous member of the Conti family, a cadet branch of the Princes of Condé. As a member of the reigning House of Bourbon, he was a prince du sang.

Born at the Hôtel de Conti in Paris, he was the last of his parents' children. He had one older brother Louis Armand (1661–1685) who married Marie Anne de Bourbon, the illegitimate daughter of Louis XIV and his mistress, Louise de La Vallière.

In 1683 he assisted the Imperialists in Hungary, and while there he wrote some letters in which he referred to Louis XIV as le roi du théâtre; because of this and because of an early engagement at the side of the Turks in 1685, on his return to France he was temporarily banished to Chantilly.

Conti was the protégé of his uncle the "Great Condé" whose granddaughter, Marie Thérèse de Bourbon (1666–1732), he married at the Palace of Versailles on 22 January 1688, before the assembled court. Marie Thérèse was aged 22. Together, they had seven children.
