Hogun the Grim is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a charter member of the Warriors Three, a trio of Asgardian adventurers and supporting cast of Thor in the Marvel Universe. The character is portrayed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Tadanobu Asano in the film Thor and reprises his role in the sequel Thor: The Dark World and is set to reprise his role in the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok.

Hogun first appeared in Journey into Mystery #119 (August, 1965), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Writer Stan Lee envisioned him as sharing several traits with characters played by actor Charles Bronson.

Hogun is a member of a trio of Asgardian adventurers consisting of Fandral the Dashing, Hogun the Grim, and Volstagg the Valiant and referred to as the Warriors Three. They were members of the supporting cast in Marvel's Thor comics and usually provided comic relief and side-adventures.

Hogun is not Aesir like most of the Asgardians. Also, his unnamed homeland was conquered long ago by Mogul of the Mystic Mountain, who slew Hogun's forebears and laid waste to the land. For a time he was apprenticed to the stone carvers. He joined with Volstagg and Fandral to judge a dare and formed a lifelong friendship. This dare, the "petting" of the Fenris wolf, led to a humiliating defeat for all three men. Afterwards, legends and tales would then stop referring to Hogun in cheerful terms and use dour, negative names.
