Francis Watson (born 5 September 1995) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life
Watson grew up in the small East Kimerley community of Balgo, Western Australia. He made his West Australian Football League debut for Claremont in 2015, and played 19 senior games for Claremont over the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Due to his Indigenous background, the Fremantle Dockers sought permission to register him in the club's Next Generation Academy, but the application was rejected by the Australian Football League on the ground that he had not resided in the Kimberley during the relevant period. Watson was then eligible to sign with any club as a "Category B" rookie, and joined West Coast in November 2016.

AFL career
Nearly three years after joining West Coast, Watson made his AFL debut as a late inclusion in their 13-point victory over Melbourne in round 18 of the 2019 AFL season.
