The 'F' expression in Django represents the value of a model field or a calculated value based on a model field. It allows you to refer to field values and perform database operations without having to fetch them into Python memory. Django uses the 'F()' object to generate the appropriate database-level SQL expression. This approach improves efficiency by avoiding unnecessary data transfers between the database and Python, making your code faster and more optimized.
