François Sylla (born 9 April 1972) is a Guinean Catholic prelate who serves as the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Conakry, in Guinea. He was appointed to that position on 28 February 2026. Before that, from 11 May 2024 until 28 February 2026, he was the Coadjutor Bishop of the same Catholic Archdiocese. He was appointed bishop by Pope Francis. He was consecrated at Conakry on 8 June 2024 by Jean-Sylvain Emien Mambé, Titular Archbishop of Potentia in Piceno, the Papal Nuncio.
