The Cayos Francisquí[1] also known as Cayos Franciskí (Franciskí Keys), is the name of a group of Caribbean cays that form part of the Los Roques Archipelago National Park[2] in northern Venezuela.[3] Administratively, as part of the Los Roques Archipelago, they belong to the Francisco de Miranda Island Territory.
They are located in the Venezuelan Caribbean, north of Caracas, west of the Cayo Nordisquí and northeast of Gran Roque Island, at the northern end of the Los Roques Archipelago National Park.

Due to their proximity to Gran Roque they have become a popular tourist destination, being one of the major attractions of the archipelago with its white sand beaches and a natural swimming pool. Diving, snorkeling and kitesurfing are practiced.
