Huth (Arabic: حوث, romanized: Ḥūth, also transliterated as Houth) is a town in 'Amran Governorate, Yemen, and the seat of Huth District.^[1] It is located on the route between Sanaa and Sa'dah, on a plateau to the north of the Bawn plains.^[2]

According to the 10th-century writer al-Hamdani, Huth is named after a certain "Abdullah bin al-Sabi", who was also called "Huth" and belonged to the tribe of Hashid. The name was initially applied both to a tribe and to its territory, with the modern town of Huth possibly serving as its capital. Medieval Huth was probably most important as a stopping point on the Sanaa-Sa'dah route, rather than as a strategic or administrative center.^[2]
