Francisco Valinés Cofresí (1878–1949) was a Puerto Rican architect.

He was born in Cabo Rojo in 1878.[1] His mother's family were relatives of the outlaw and pirate Roberto Cofresí.

Cofresí began working as a cabinetmaker foreman at the San Juan firm Finlay, Waymouth & Lee. Later on he studied architecture by correspondence, with the International Correspondence School of Chicago, Illinois, completing his studies in 1912.[1]

At least two of his works are listed for their architecture on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
