Hippolyte Lippens (16 October 1847 – 31 December 1906) was a lawyer, manager of sugar factories and a Belgian liberal politician. He was a son of Auguste Lippens, burgomaster of Moerbeke-Waas, and he married in 1873, with Louise de Kerckhove de Denterghem, a daughter of the burgomaster of Ghent Charles de Kerchove de Denterghem.
He became burgomaster of Ghent (1882–1895), a member of parliament (1882–1886 and 1889–1890) and senator (1900–1906) for the liberal party. During his tenure as a burgomaster, the renovation of the Neerscheldewijk (current Vlaanderenstraat, Limburgstraat and Henegouwenstraat) in Ghent was started according to the Paris model.
