The Horta Museum (French: Musée Horta; Dutch: Hortamuseum) is a museum in Brussels, Belgium, dedicated to the life and work of the architect Victor Horta and his time. The museum is housed in Horta's former town house and workshop (French: Maison et Atelier Horta; Dutch: Woning en Atelier Horta), built between 1898 and 1901, in Art Nouveau style. It is located at 23–25, rue Américaine/Amerikaansestraat in the municipality of Saint-Gilles.

Together with three other town houses of Victor Horta, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2000 as the core of epoch-making urban residences that Horta designed before 1900.
