Hervé de Toulgoët (28 March 1911 – 14 September 2009) was a French entomologist. He specialised in moths of the families Arctiidae and Zygaenidae. He also studied the beetle genus Carabus. He was written about by Paul Thiaucourt[1] and Jocelyne Navatte.[2]

According to Navatte's note, Toulgoët published 179 works. On the genus Carabus, he published a catalogue of the types of the Paris National Museum of Natural History collection.[3] On the Zygaenidae he published a note on some Moroccan species.[4] His other works are mainly on Arctiidae.
