The French Market (French: Marché français) is a market and series of commercial buildings spanning six blocks in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded as a Native American trading post predating European colonization, the market is the oldest of its kind in the United States.[1] It began where Café du Monde currently stands and has been rebuilt and renovated a number of times.

The market is included on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.
