Franz Karl von Grillot was an envoy of Joseph Wenzel I, Prince of Liechtenstein and Landvogt of Liechtenstein from 1751 to 1770.[1]

During his time as Landvogt, he suggested that Joseph Wenzel I redeemed the debt owed to the Jews, amounting to 30,000 guilders.[2] He was also periodically the Liechtenstein envoy to the Swabian Circle.[3] He was unpopular, and after complaints about his corruption in office he was removed as Landvogt in 1770, and temporarily succeeded by Gabriel Reinhard the following year.[3][4]
