Template:Short description Hugh of Vaucemain[1] (died 1341) was a French Dominican, who became head of his order in 1333. He was a Burgundian.[2]

His time as Master-General was marked by a conflict with Pope Benedict XII. Benedict, a Cistercian, was attempting a reform of the monastic orders. Hugh's position as the head of a mendicant order was apparently not against the reform as such, but derived from the feeling that the mendicants' position would then be threatened.[3]

The Order numbered around 12,000 at this time, according to a census of 1337.[4] This was a decade before the Black Death, which caused a general fall in population.
