Walhorn is a section of the Belgian municipality of Lontzen located in the German-speaking Community and in the Walloon Region in the province of Liège.

It was a municipality in its own right before the merger of municipalities in 1977.

It contains the hamlet of Astenet.

The first mention of the place called "Harna", which was a royal court, is found in a bull of Lothair II dating from the year 888 in the archives of the Sainte-Marie convent in Aix-la-Chapelle. The “Ban de Walhorn” (Lordship) was part of the Duchy of Limburg and had legal power in the region from the 12th century to 1815. A few stately homes in the suburbs testify to this past.

The Lontzenerbach waters the locality, as well as the hamlet of Astenet.
