Francisco Escárcega Márquez (2 January 1896 – 22 July 1938) was a builder of railroads in Mexico and fought in the Mexican Revolution. He was born in Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala, and opened up areas in southern and eastern Mexico with railways. In 1938, he was in an aircraft crash in Palenque, Chiapas, while conducting aerial surveillance for a new railway. He survived the crash but died later of his injuries in Villahermosa, Tabasco.
