Hooge (Manchu: ; 1609–1648), formally known as Prince Su, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty. He was the eldest son of Huangtaiji, the second ruler of the Qing dynasty.
Hooge was born in the Aisin Gioro clan as the eldest son of Huangtaiji, the second ruler of the Qing dynasty. His mother was Lady Ulanara, one of Huangtaiji's consorts.
Hooge participated in military campaigns against the Mongols, Koreans and the Ming dynasty. After Huangtaiji's death in 1643, Hooge and his uncle Dorgon fought over the succession to the throne. The situation was to Hooge's advantage because three of the Eight Banners previously under Huangtaiji's control had been passed on to him. On the other hand, Dorgon had the support of his brothers and two White Banners. This meant that the remaining two Red Banners controlled by Daišan and his son, as well as the Bordered Blue Banner under Chiurhala, were crucial to ensuring that Hooge could win the succession. After much dispute, Daišan started favouring Hooge, who ostensibly refused to take the throne. Hooge was actually waiting for others to urge him to take the throne, so that he could sit on it without projecting a power-hungry image of himself. Unfortunately for Hooge, Dorgon and his brothers gave way, so the conflict continued without a solution. The power struggle concluded with a compromise in order to avoid internal strife. Dorgon nominated Fulin, another son of Huangtaiji born to Consort Zhuang, to be the new ruler, so Fulin ascended to the throne as the Shunzhi Emperor.
