Fransis Hari Kompton Krik (engl. Francis Crick; 8. jun 1916 — 28. jul 2004) je bio engleski molekularni biolog, biofizičar, i neuro naučnik. Najpoznatiji je po otkriću strukture DNK molekula 1953. zajedno sa Džejmsom D. Votsonom. On, Votson i Moris Vilkins su zajedno nagrađeni 1962. Nobelovom nagradom za fiziologiju ili medicinu „za otkriće molekulske strukture nukleinskih kiselina i njihovog značaja za transfer informacija u živim materijalima“.

Krik je bio važan teoretski molekularni biolog i imao je ključnu ulogu u istraživanjima vezanim za otkriće genetičkog koda. Poznat je takođe i po upotrebi termina “centralna dogma” kojom se sumira ideja da genetske informacije teku u ćelijama isključivo u jednom pravcu, od DNK do RNK do proteina.

Bio je profesor na Salk institutu za biološke studije u La Džoli, Kalifornija. Njegova kasnija istraživanja odnosila su se na oblast teorijske neurobiologije.
