Horta is a premetro (underground tram) station located under the Chaussée de Waterloo/Waterloosesteenweg in the Saint-Gilles municipality of Brussels, Belgium. The station is named after the Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta, who designed a number of significant buildings in the area. It opened on 3 December 1993.

The station forms part of a southerly extension to the North–South Axis, a tram tunnel crossing the city centre between Brussels-North railway station and Albert premetro station. The underground station serves the 4, 10 and 51 trams, while the 81 and 97 trams and 52 bus stop 100 metres (330 ft) to the north-west around the Barrière de Saint-Gilles/Bareel van Sint-Gillis.

In 2025, the line is scheduled to be converted to serve line 3 of the Brussels Metro, in preparation for which third rails were installed in 2021.[1]
