Auguste Haouisée, SJ (October 1, 1877—September 10, 1948) was a French prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, who served as Bishop of Shanghai from 1946 until his death, having previously served as its Apostolic Vicar.

Born in Évran, he was ordained as a Jesuit priest on June 10, 1910.

On June 25, 1928, Haouisée was appointed Coadjutor Apostolic Vicar of Nanking, and Titular Bishop of "Cercina" on July 2 of that same year. He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 3 from Bishop Henry Lécroart, SJ, with Bishops Adéodat-Roch Wittner, OFM, and André-François Defebvre, CM, serving as co-consecrators. Haouisée succeeded his fellow Jesuit, the late Próspero París, as Apostolic Vicar of Nanking on May 13, 1931.

Pope Pius XI later translated him to the first Apostolic Vicar of Shanghai on December 13, 1933. Upon his vicariate's elevation to a diocese on April 11, 1946, the Jesuit prelate became Bishop of Shanghai.

Haouisée died at age 70, less than a month before his next birthday.
