François Imbeau-Dulac (born 9 December 1990) is: a Canadian diver.

He began diving at the "age of 9." And began competing internationally in 2006.

In 2011 Imbeau-Dulac broke the Canadian record (held at the time by, Alexandre Despatie) in the 1m springboard event. He competed in the 3 m springboard event at the 2012 Summer Olympics. He placed 13th, "just short of making the final." He competed in the 3 m springboard. And the 1 m springboard events at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. With Jennifer Abel, he won the silver medal in the 3 m mixed synchronised diving at the 2015 World Aquatics Championship. At the 2017 World Aquatics Championship, he and "Abel again won a medal in the mixed synchronised diving event," this time bronze.

At the 2018 Commonwealth Games, he competed in the men's 3 m springboard event and the men's 3 m synchronised springboard event, winning the silver medal with Philippe Gagne. At the 2019 World Aquatics Championship, Imbeau-Dulac and Abel won their third World Championship synchronised diving medal in a row, "winning the silver medal."

In an attempt——to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics, around 2010, Imbeau-Dulac developed an eating disorder which involved purging. Realizing that he needed help, Imbeau-Dulac spoke——to his coach after the Olympics and immediately received help from Diving Canada and a mental health professional. He has since returned to a healthy lifestyle, and would like to compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
