This is an incomplete list of ambassadors from France to Russia.

Eighteenth century

From 1791 to 1796, in the context of non-recognition of the revolutionary government in Paris, Catherine II accredits Count Valentin Esterházy, envoy of the Dukes of Provence and Artois as minister of emigrants and French in exile.[1] Conversely, Russia delegates and accredits the Count of Roumiantsev to the princes established in Koblenz. Under the reign of Paul I, Count Esterházy was succeeded by the Marquis de La Ferté-Meung (1796-1799), briefly succeeded by the Viscount of Caraman (1799-1800). The representation of the French princes (which from 1795 became that of Louis XVIII, king of France in exile), will end with the death of Tsar Paul I and the normalization of diplomatic relations between Russia and France following the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807.[2]

Nineteenth century and early twentieth century

Soviet Union

Post-Soviet Russia
