Hooge (Danish: Hoge, Frisian: Huuge) is a small island off the coast of Germany. It is the second largest of the ten halligen in the Wadden Sea, after Langeneß. It is frequently called the Queen of the Halligen. The houses on the island are built on ten Warften.
The municipality (Gemeinde) Hooge also includes the uninhabited hallig Norderoog.

Settlements and geography [edit]
Hooge has 9 populated Warften:
- Backenswarft
- Kirchwarft
- Ockelützwarft
- Hanswarft
- Ockenswarft
- Lorenzwarft/Mitteltritt (double-terpen)
- Volkertswarft
- Ipkenswarft
- Westerwarft
The Pohnswarft still can be found close to the shore of Hooge. The Pohnswarft is an unpopulated Warft which has been abandoned due to its unfavourable location. There is only a water gauge on it.
The small island of Hainshallig, located off the east coast of Hooge, may have once been connected to the island by a levee and belonged to a Hooge resident, but became flooded and sank in 1860.
