Maud Francis, Countess of Salisbury (c. 1370 - c. 1424) was daughter of Sir Adam Francis, born c. 1326, Mayor of London, and Agnes Champnes. She was married and widowed three times. Her first husband was John Aubrey (son of another Mayor of London, Andrew Aubrey) and her second Sir Alan Buxhull, KG in 1372.

Following the death of Mary de Bohun in 1394, her son, the future Henry V, was given into the care of the Earl and Countess of Salisbury by his father, Henry Bolingbroke, the future King Henry IV of England.
