Francisco Parra Capó (20 December 1871 - ca. 1945) was a Puerto Rican attorney, politician, and Mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico, from 1921 to 1923.

Francisco Parra Capó was born in Ponce in 1867, the son of Francisco Parra Duperón and Eufemia Capó Ortiz de la Renta Bermudas.

In 1900 he was elected to the Puerto Rico House of Delegates for the district of Ponce and served until the end of his term in 1902.

In 1919, he worked as the Archivero General (Archivist-in-Chief) for the Ponce District. He became an attorney and joined his father's law firm in Ponce. The law firm operated until 2016 from the Banco de Ponce Building and was known as Parra, del Valle & Limeres. At the time of its closing, it was the oldest law firm in Puerto Rico. As an attorney, Parra Capó subsequently worked as a military aid to governor Blanton Winship in the mid to late 1930s with his nephew Francisco Parra Toro.

Parra Capó was president of the Ponce Municipal Assembly during the days of the Ponce Massacre.
