Fractional Fourier operators are introduced, and their properties are studied. Products of these operators with the displacement operators are also considered and used to define generalized Wigner functions which in special cases give the known Wigner functions and Weyl functions. The properties of these generalized Wigner functions are explored. Complex fractional Fourier operators are also studied.
