Hundsangen is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The village is located in the Westerwald region between Montabaur and Limburg an der Lahn right at the boundary between Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. Hundsangen is the biggest and also liveliest village in the Verbandsgemeinde of Wallmerod (some kind of collective municipality). Leisure facilities are abundant because of the geographic circumstances. Transport opportunities to the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Region and the Cologne/Bonn Region are well developed. Hundsangen offers its inhabitants a high quality of life.

A bigger hill, the so-called "Ollmersch", is a well-known sight of Hundsangen. The village hall is named Ollmerschhalle because of this hill.

Hundsangen’s neighbours are Hadamar, Dornburg, Molsberg, Wallmerod, Weroth, Dreikirchen, Obererbach and Elz.

In 1096, Hundsangen had its first documentary mention as Hundeszagel.

At Hundsangen’s graveyard, a Roman medallion was found. Today it is found in the Nassau Antiquities Collection (Sammlung Nassauischer Altertümer) in Wiesbaden.
