Vincent Ogé (French pronunciation: [vɛ̃sɑ̃ ɔʒe]; c. 1757 – 6 February 1791) was a Saint-Domingan merchant, military officer and revolutionary who had a leading role in a failed uprising against French colonial rule in the colony of Saint-Domingue in 1790. A mixed-race member of the colonial elite, Ogé's revolt occurred just before the Haitian Revolution, which resulted in the colony's independence from France, and left a contested legacy in post-independence Haiti.
