Eugène François Charles Lamoral Prince of Ligne (born January 28, 1804 in Brussels , † May 20, 1880 in Belœil ), Prince of Amblise and Epinoy, grandee of Spain, was a Belgian politician.
In 1814 he succeeded his grandfather Charles-Joseph de Ligne in the dignity of the House of Ligne and the Holy Roman Empire . In 1830 he was chosen by a party to be king of the new state of Belgium during the Belgian Revolution , but he did not respond.

In 1879 he resigned because he did not agree with the government's liberal policies, and died on May 20, 1880. His heir was his grandson Louis (1854-1918).
