Val Rita-Harty is a township municipality in Cochrane District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada.
The township consists of two communities, Val Rita and Harty, both located along Highway 11 between Opasatika and Kapuskasing. It was incorporated as a township in 1973, following a failed community effort in 1964 to request incorporation as a municipality. It was originally known as the Township of Owens, Williamson and Idington, but renamed in 1983 after its main communities.
