Hauger is a station on Kolsåsbanen (line 6) on the Oslo T-bane system. It is between Kolsås and Gjettum, 16.5 km from Stortinget. It serves the neighborhood Hauger and the mainly industrial area Rud. Two upper secondary schools Rud and Rosenvilde are located in its vicinity.

The station was opened January 1, 1930 as part of the tramway Lilleakerbanen. [cite web |url=http://www.sporveien.no/templates/Page____1033.aspx |author=Oslo Sporveier |title=Subway stations in the west]

Along with most of the line, Hauger has been closed for upgrades since July 1 2006 and its service is temporarily provided by bus route 42 [cite web |url=http://www.sporveien.no/templates/page____1150.aspx |title=Bus replacing the Kolsås line |author=Oslo Sporveier |language=Norwegian |date=2006] . Hauger will among other things, receive longer platforms which can accommodate trains with up to six cars like most of the subway system.
