Huron Charter Township is a charter township of Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan.  The population was 15,879 at the 2010 census.  Huron Charter Township is named after the Huron River, which flows southeast through the township.  The township is home to three divisions of the Huron–Clinton Metroparks system: Lower Huron, Oakwoods, and Willow.
 Huron Township was organized in 1827 and originally included the land that now contains the cities of Romulus and Belleville as well as the townships of Van Buren and Sumpter.  In the 1830s, a settlement was platted on the banks of the Huron River.  The first post office opened with the name Huron, but soon closed.  In 1860 a new post office was opened with the name Catville but changed its name to New Boston by 1868.  Other early settlements included Belden, platted in 1857 by Frances J. Belden and now known as Willow, and Waltz, platted in 1872 by Joseph Waltz.
 On March 17, 1835 the northeastern portion of Huron Township was set off and organized as Romulus Township.  Within a few weeks, on April 6, 1835, the northwestern portion of the township became Van Buren Township.  On April 6, 1840 the western half of the remaining portion of Huron Township organized as the township of Sumpter, creating the current boundaries of township.
 The Waltz Road–Huron River Bridge, first constructed in 1924 and later replaced in 2017, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
