Hippolyte Arnoux (1826? – 1890?, active 1860s–1890s) was a French photographer and publisher known for documenting Egypt during the late 19th century. He worked extensively in Port Said, capturing images of daily life, architecture, and major engineering projects, most notably the construction of the Suez Canal. 

Arnoux also collaborated with other photographers, such as the Zangaki Brothers and Antonio Beato, producing and distributing photographic prints and albums for European travelers and collectors.
