Étienne Le Hongre (7 May 1628 – 28 April 1690) was a French sculptor, part of the team that worked for the Bâtiments du Roi at Versailles.
Le Hongre was one of the first generation of sculptors formed by the precepts of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture.
At the Bain des Nymphes (1678–80) he was one of the sculptors providing lead bas-reliefs for the fountain setting that featured the work of François Girardon.
Le Hongre provided other bronze figures for the Parterre d'Eau (illustration, right).
