Hugo Néstor Conte (born 14 April 1963) is a volleyball coach and retired player from Argentina who represented his native country in three Summer Olympics. He was born at Buenos Aires. He currently coaches Volley Cavriago in Italy.

After having finished in sixth place at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Conte was a member of the men's national team that claimed the bronze medal four years later in Seoul, South Korea. Twelve years later he was on the squad ending up in fourth place at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He is considered to be one of the eight greatest volleyball players of all time, and the best Argentinian player, next to Waldo Kantor.
