Francine Fournier (born February 19, 1972), known simply as Francine, is an American former professional wrestling valet best known for her work in Extreme Championship Wrestling.

Fournier decided to train to be a professional wrestler after seeing a commercial for a training school in 1993. She trained with J.T. Smith for approximately one year at the House of Hardcore. She worked for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) at house shows until the owner of ECW Paul Heyman booked her to appear on television. In the summer of 1995, she debuted in ECW as a devoted fan of Stevie Richards and later became his manager and on-screen girlfriend. The new partnership angered both Richards's tag team partner Raven and Raven's valet Beulah McGillicutty. This rivalry eventually led to several catfights between the women. Richards eventually turned on Francine due to the influence of Raven.

Francine then allied herself with The Pitbulls tag team, who had left Raven's Nest, adopting a leather-clad dominatrix persona to fit with the Pitbulls' gimmick. She led The Pitbulls to a victory over Richards and Raven for the ECW Tag Team Championships on September 16, 1995. At Cyberslam '96 Francine and the Pitbulls defeated The Eliminators and Richards in a Dog Collar match when Fournier pinned Richards after he was superbombed by the Pitbulls. She also led Pitbull II to win the ECW Television Championship from Shane Douglas, who had insulted her earlier in the program.
