Maurice Eugène Auguste, Count Lippens (born 21 August 1875 - died 12 July 1956), was governor of Belgian Congo from 30 January 1921 until 24 January 1923.
When his predecessor retired as Governor of Congo, the Belgian Cabinet departed from precedent by choosing on 30 January 1921, as the new governor-general a man without previous colonial experience Maurice Lippens, who was the governor of the Belgian province of East Flanders.
