Enoch Francis (1688–1740) was a Welsh Baptist minister. Francis was born in 1688 at Pantyllaethdy, on the banks of the Teifi, and began to preach in 1707. He was settled first at Capel Iago, Llanbyther, but removed in 1730 to Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire. He became one of the most popular and successful ministers of his denomination. He was moderator of the baptist association at Hengoed, Glamorganshire, in 1730, "but the meeting", says Thomas,{{which|date=November 2013}} "was uncomfortable. There were very warm debates upon general redemption and other articles connected with it. Mr. E. Francis had work enough to moderate some tempers". He died 4 Feb. 1739–40. Mary, his wife, died 23 Aug. 1739, aged 49, and the inscription on the tomb tells us "Enoch walked with God"; "Mary has chosen the better part". The historian of the baptists{{who|date=November 2013}} concludes his memoir with an elegy by Jenkin Thomas, Drewen. Publications
He was also the author of some of the association letters; that of 1734 is specially mentioned.
