Ougrée (French pronunciation: [uɡʁe]; Walloon: Ougrêye) is a town of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Seraing, located in the province of Liège, Belgium.

It was a separate municipality before the merging of municipalities in 1977. Olympic swimmers Béatrice Mottoulle and Chantal Grimard were both born here.[1][2] Belgian football goalkeeper Michel Preud'Homme was also born here[3] as well as writer Franz Weyergans in 1912.
