Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian comic strip artist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, a series of comic albums that are considered some of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. Hergé also created other well-known series such as Quick & Flupke (1930–1940) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–1957). His works were executed in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.

Born to a lower-middle-class family in Etterbeek, Brussels, Hergé began his career by contributing illustrations to Scouting magazines and developing his first comic series, The Adventures of Totor, for Le Boy-Scout Belge in 1926. He created The Adventures of Tintin in 1929 while working for the conservative Catholic newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle. Tintin's early adventures were conservative propaganda for children, but they became highly successful and were serialized in book form. Influenced by his friend Zhang Chongren, Hergé's work displayed increased realism from The Blue Lotus onward.

During the German occupation of Belgium in 1940, Hergé continued his series in Le Soir, a Nazi-controlled newspaper. After the Allied liberation in 1944, Le Soir was shut down, and Hergé faced accusations of collaboration, though no charges were brought against him. He went on to establish Tintin magazine in 1946 and founded Studios Hergé in 1950 to support his ongoing projects.

Hergé's works have been praised for their clear draughtsmanship and well-researched plots, influencing a wide range of adaptations in theatre, radio, television, cinema, and gaming. His influence on the comic book medium, especially in Europe, remains strong to this day. A Hergé Museum was established in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in 2009 to celebrate his legacy.
