Houba-Brugmann is a Brussels Metro station on the northern branch of line 6. It is located under the Avenue Houba De Strooper/Houba De Strooperlaan, near Brugmann University Hospital, in Laeken, in the north-west of the City of Brussels, Belgium. The station is jointly named after the city official Louis Houba and the 19th-century philanthropist Georges Brugmann.

The metro station opened on 5 July 1985 as part of the Bockstael–Heysel/Heizel extension of former line 1A, including the stations Stuyvenbergh and Heysel/Heizel. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by line 6.^[1]
