Ogre (pronunciation) is the state city in Ogre Municipality in the Vidzeme region of Latvia, 36 kilometres (22 miles) east of the capital Riga, and is situated at the confluence of the Daugava and Ogre rivers. It has been a city since 1928. The population in 2020 was 23,273. It is a state city (although without a separate municipal government), and is the seat of Ogre Municipality. Previously, it also served as the seat of Ogre district.
Ogre is composed of three parts: Jaunogre (meaning "New Ogre"), Ogre (the center of the city), and Pārogre (meaning "Ogre across [the river]" though not all the named region is across the river).
