Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Francis D'Oyly {{postnominals|KCB}} (1776 – 18 June 1815) was a British Army officer. He was the third son of Matthias and Mary D'Oyly.[1]

Commissioned into the 1st Regiment of Guards, D'Oyly served with them during the 1799 Anglo-Russian expedition to the Netherlands in 1799. He returned to the Netherlands in the Walcheren Campaign of 1809. On 2 July 1811, both he and his brother Henry were promoted from captains to majors in the army.[2] On 6 October 1812, he was given command of a company in the Guards as a brevet major after the death of Lt-Col. Colquitt.[3] He then served under the Duke of Wellington in the British Army's campaign in the Spanish Peninsula and France,[1] after which he was made a KCB.[4][5] He again served under Wellington during the Hundred Days and was killed at the battle of Waterloo.[1]
