Hautmont (French pronunciation: [omɔ̃]) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.

It is 5 km (3 mi) southwest of the centre of Maubeuge, and has 14,500 residents.

On 3 August 2008 a narrow but strong F4 tornado swept through the town, as well as Maubeuge, Neuf-Mesnil and Boussières-sur-Sambre damaging hundreds of buildings, forty of which collapsed. The tornado killed three people and injured seventeen others. The tornado was part of an outbreak that produced nine other tornadoes.
