Frédéric Fauthoux (born 6 December 1972) is a French professional basketball coach and former point guard. He is the head coach of JL Bourg Basket in LNB Élite and, since September 2024, the head coach of the French national team.

A one-club man, Fauthoux played for Élan Béarnais Pau-Orthez during his entire professional career (1990–2007), winning multiple French Cups and LNB Pro A titles. He earned over 40 caps for the France men's national basketball team, including a bronze medal at EuroBasket 2005.

After retiring, Fauthoux started his coaching journey in the Pau-Orthez youth system. He later took charge of Levallois Metropolitans (2015–2020), before becoming assistant coach at ASVEL Basket, where he was part of back-to-back French League titles in 2021 and 2022.

In 2022, he became head coach of JL Bourg Basket. Under his leadership, Bourg reached the EuroCup Finals in 2024, elevated their presence in European tournaments, and solidified their position among top French clubs.

On 25 September 2024, Fauthoux was named head coach of the senior French national team, succeeding long-serving Vincent Collet. He led the team into its EuroBasket 2025 qualifying campaign, backed by a coaching staff of Laurent Vila, Bryan George, Joseph Gomis, Pascal Donnadieu, and Maxime Chiron.

Fauthoux embraces a collective approach. After a recent victory, he praised his team's unity:

“Nous gagnons grâce au collectif.”

L'Équipe and players have also highlighted his leadership style as grounded, honest, and empathetic.

He is the father of Marine Fauthoux, a professional women's basketball player and French national team guard.
