Wang Tau Hom Estate (Chinese: 橫頭磡邨) is a public housing estate in Wang Tau Hom, Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon, Hong Kong, along Lung Cheung Road and next to Lok Fu. The estate was originally built in 1962 with a total of 25 blocks, but it was redeveloped between 1982 and 1983. It now consists of 18 blocks of three types, namely, Double H, Harmony 3 and Linear L with Linear 1 and Linear 3, providing a total of 5,900 domestic flats.[1] There were originally six more blocks, but these were allocated to Lok Fu Estate because they were near MTR Lok Fu station after its 1991 construction.[2]

Fu Keung Court (富強苑), Ka Keung Court (嘉強苑) and Tak Keung Court (德強苑) are Home Ownership Scheme housing courts near Wang Tau Hom Estate. They have six, two and two blocks respectively, completed in 1991, 1998 and 2001 respectively.
