François Lapointe (born March 26, 1971) is a Canadian politician, currently MP for the electoral district of Montmagny—L’Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup.

On the night of the 2011 election, Lapointe was initially declared unsuccessful in his riding, losing narrowly to incumbent MP Bernard Généreux. However, Lapointe was subsequently declared elected on May 5, 2011, after the riding’s returning officer determined that 100 votes for Lapointe were reportedly allocated in error to the Green Party candidate in the initial tally.

In the updated count, Lapointe won over Généreux by a margin of just five votes. Following an automatic judicial recount, Lapointe’s victory was confirmed.

Lapointe ran in a by-election in Montmagny—L’Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup in 2009, but finished a distant fourth.
