Franz "Frans" Marius Theodor de Liagre Böhl (Vienna, Austria, 16 August 1882 – Milsbeek or Nijmegen, the Netherlands, 16 November 1976) was a Dutch professor of Assyriology and Hebrew.
His father was Eduard Böhl (1836–1903), a well-known Protestant clergyman and later a professor of Old Testament studies at the University of Vienna, who had married the daughter Anna of the influential Dutch Protestant theologian Hermann Friedrich Kohlbrugge (1803–1875). His second marriage was with Baroness Jacoba Frederica "Jacqueline" van Verschuer (1846–1921), who became Franz's mother.
In 1949 Franz Böhl added de Liagre to his surname Böhl, to prevent his grandmother's birth name from becoming extinct. He married Elisabeth Henriëtte Fabius (1886–1921) in 1914 and Marie Anna Dorothea Strasburger (1905–1996) in 1933. Franz de Liagre Böhl was the father of Herman de Liagre Böhl (1943), a Dutch historian and biographer of the Dutch poet Herman Gorter (1864–1927) and of his own father.
