Houéyogbé is a town, arrondissement, and commune in the Mono Department of south-western Benin. The commune covers an area of 290 square kilometres and as of 2002 had a population of 74,492 people.
== Geography == Houéyogbé lies in the eastern section of the Mono Department, between Lokossa to the west, Comè to the south and the Atlantique Department to the east. Its territory extends across sandy and hydromorphic soils, with numerous low-lying areas that retain water during the rainy season and support dry-season market gardening. The commune is also influenced by the ecological dynamics of the Lake Ahémé basin, which shapes local fishing practices and palm-oil production.
