Houtaing is a village and district of the municipality of Ath, located in the Hainaut Province in Wallonia, Belgium.

The earliest mention of the village is in a document dated 847, listing properties of the Saint-Amand Abbey in present-day France. Later it became a feudal fief. The current Château de la Berlière in Houtaing dates from 1793, by architect Antoine Payen the Elder, and replaced an earlier castle.[1]
