Francisco de Mora (c.1553–1610) was a Spanish Renaissance architect.
Mora was born in Cuenca, and was an uncle of both the architect Juan Gómez de Mora and the humanist . He is considered one of the best representatives of Herrerian architecture, a style that developed in the last third of the 16th century, although his best work also anticipates the Baroque currents that would dominate 17th-century architecture. He was the designer of the Convento de San José (Ávila) and of the Palacio ducal de Lerma (Lerma, Burgos), which had a major influence on later religious and secular architecture. He died in Madrid.
