Hereheretue is an atoll in French Polynesia, Pacific Ocean. It is the northernmost island of the group Îles du Duc de Gloucester. Hereheretue's nearest neighbor is Anuanuraro, which is located about 150 km. away. Hereheretue is the only permanently inhabited island of the Îles du Duc de Gloucester group. It had a population of 57 at the census of 2002. They all live on the largest islet forming the southeast corner of the atoll, in a village facing the lagoon.

The Guinness Book of World Records listed the island, with its archaic French spelling of "Héréhérétué", as the word with the most accent marks in any language.
