Hervey le Breton (died in 1131) was a Breton cleric who became Bishop of Bangor in Wales and later Bishop of Ely in England. He was appointed Bishop of Bangor in 1092 by King William II of England. Bangor at the time was in the Kingdom of Gwynedd, which had recently been overrun by the Normans, and following the killing of Robert of Rhuddlan had been taken over by Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester. The appointment of Hervey was probably intended to further consolidate the Norman hold on the area.
