François Crépieul (March 16, 1638 —1702) was a
Jesuit missionary in Canada and vicar apostolic for the Montagnais
Indians.
Crépieul was born in
Jesuit Relations. In 1696 or 1697 he was appointed vicar apostolic for the Montagnais and, on the discontinuance of the mission a few years later, moved to Quebec, where he spent the rest of his life. Claude Dablon
, superior of all the missions in Canada, styles him "a veritable apostle".
