Marie-Joseph-Guy-Henry-Philippe de Riquet de Caraman, 18th Prince de Chimay (9 October 1836, Château de Menars, France - 29 March 1892, Brussels, Belgium), was a Belgian diplomat and politician. He was notable as Ambassador to the Holy See (1846-1847), governor of the province of Hainaut (1870-1878) and Foreign Minister (1884-1892).
His parents were Joseph de Riquet de Caraman, 17th Prince de Chimay, and Émilie Pellapra. His own six children included Joseph, Prince de Caraman-Chimay and Élisabeth, who married the Count of Greffulhe.
