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 premetro line (formerly line 3), which originally linked Brussels-North railway station to Brussels-South railway station. The underground station serves the 3, 4 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 heavy metro alone, in preparation for which third rails were installed in 2021.[1]
