Charles-Désiré Hue, born November 7, 1833 in Meaux (Seine-et-Marne) and died in the 9th arrondissement of Paris on December 22, 1879, was a French painter and lithographer.
Charles-Désiré Hue entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he became a pupil of Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury and Carraud. Best known for his lithographs, an art he experimented with under Eugène Prosper Leroux, he exhibited his first painting, Les Éxilés de Tibère, at the 1857 Salon. He received an honorable mention at the 1883 Salon. Specializing in genre scenes often set in the 18th century, he is also known for Le Visiteur (1867, location unknown) and Un salon du palais de Fontainebleau (location unknown).
Hue was also a watercolorist.
