I'm not sure when this changed, but on at least macOS Ventura and Sonoma, you have to dig a bit deeper than the screenshot in the accepted answer.
First, go to System Settings → Keyboard. Then click "Keyboard Shortcuts...".
In there, navigate to Functions keys.
And there you will find the setting.

You may like FunctionFlip. Here is a description from it's website:
FunctionFlip's purpose is simply to disable the special features — rewind, play, mute, etc. — on the function keys. For example, if you "flip" F7, F8, and F9, those keys — only those keys — will revert back to normal F keys. Press the fn key with the special key to get the special function back. That is, the "special" and "normal" functions are flipped.

If you're using an external keyboard for a mac, check the external keyboard for a f-key lock button. On my logitech it is on the escape key.
(I just spent half an hour figuring it out!)
