Portrait of Félix de Vinge, by his student Lievin De Winne

Félix De Vigne (16 March 1806 – 5 December 1862) was a Belgian painter.

He was a history painter, engraver, art historian, and instructor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, the city of his birth. In 1847 he published Recherches historiques sur les costumes civils et militaires, an illustrated compendium of the flags, shields and costumes of medieval guilds and military groups.

He was the brother of sculptor Pieter De Vigne (1812–1877), father of Brussels architect Edmond De Vigne (1841–1918), and the stepfather of painter Jules Breton.

He taught his niece, Emma De Vigne, paint.[1]
