Hugues d'Eu († after 1077) from the Rolloniden family is attested as Bishop of Lisieux from 1049 to 1077 .

He was a son of Count Wilhelm (Guillaume) of Eu and Hiémois and thus a grandson of Duke Richard I of Normandy . His brother was the Count Guillaume Busac of Eu and Soissons .

The historian Ordericus Vitalis describes him as a "holy man". As bishop of Lisieux he is attested from 1049; During his term of office the completion of the reconstruction of the cathedral Saint-Pierre in Lisieux in the Romanesque style falls . Hugues d'Eu was able to consecrate it around 1055/60.

After his death, William the Conqueror had to mediate between the canons of Lisieux and those of the Abbey of Notre-Dame-du-Pré (also in Lisieux) as sovereign, as both claimed the bishop's body as a relic . Wilhelm decided in favor of the abbey founded by Lesceline, Hugue's mother.
