Hector Heusghem (born in Ransart on 15 February 1890, died in Montignies-le-Tilleul on 29 March 1982) was a Belgian cyclist who finished second in the 1920 and 1921 Tour de France. He also won three stages of the race, two in 1920 at Aix-en-Provence and Grenoble and one in 1921 at Luchon. In 1922 he took over the yellow jersey with three stages to go, but after breaking his frame he swapped bicycles without permission and received a one-hour penalty that dropped him to fourth place and handed the race to Firmin Lambot. He was the brother of the cyclists Pierre-Joseph Heusghem and Louis Heusghem.
