'''Hug de Cervelló''' (died 17 April 1171) was the [[archbishop of Tarragona]] from 1164 until his death.
Hug was born in the first half of the 12th century. His father was Guerau Alemany IV de Cervelló. He became a canon of the [[diocese of Barcelona]]. In 1161, he accompanied Count [[Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona|Ramon Berenguer IV]] on his visit to [[Turin]], during which the count died. He continued to be close to the count's successor, King [[Alfonso II of Aragon|Alfonso II]].{{sfn|Bonet Donato|2018}}
Alfonso II engineered Hug's election as archbishop in 1164 in order to counterbalance the power of the [[Principality of Tarragona|Bordet princes of Tarragona]]. Hug did this by granting a charter of repopulation for [[Selva]] in 1164; establishing his vassals at [[L'Albiol]] and {{ill|Mas Calvó|ca}}; becoming the first prior of {{ill|Escornalbou|ca|Castell d'Escornalbou|es|Monasterio de San Miguel (Escornalbou)}} in 1165; and intervening in disputes, as in that between the [[bishopric of Urgell]] and the {{ill|abbey of Sant Pere d'Àger|ca|Sant Pere d'Àger|es|Colegiata de San Pedro (Ager)}}.{{sfn|Bonet Donato|2018}}
In 1165, the conflict between archbishop and prince turned violent and the former requested the intervention of the king, who finally came to Tarragona in 1168. Prince {{ill|Guillem d'Aguiló|es||ca|Guillem de Tarragona}} was forced to swear fealty to the archbishop, but he was murdered later that year.{{sfn|Bonet Donato|2018}} His family accused Hug of arranging the assassination.

This resulted in the downfall of the Bordets, who were forced into exile through the intervention of [[Pope Alexander III]].{{sfn|Smith|2012|pp=233–234}} The 18th-century Catalan historian Marià Marí i Bas compared the killing of Hug to that of [[Thomas Becket]] the year before for its dramatic consequences in favour of the church.<ref>{{harvnb|Bonet Donato|2018}}. {{harvnb|Smith|2012|p=233}}, titles his section "A Catalan Becket?".</ref>
