François Arthur Marcotte (September 25, 1866 – January 16, 1931) was a physician and political figure in Quebec. He represented Champlain in the House of Commons of Canada from 1896 to 1900 as a Conservative.[1]

He was born in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Canada East, the son of François Marcotte and Cécile Hardy, and was educated at the Séminaire de Québec and the Université Laval. Marcotte set up practice at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade.[2] He was mayor of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade and also served as warden for Champlain County.[3] Marcotte's election in 1896 was overturned after an appeal but he won the by-election that followed in 1897. He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1900 and 1904.[1] In 1899, he married Anna Marie Larue. Marcotte died at the Hôtel-Dieu in Quebec City at the age of 64.[2]
