Karuhatan is one of the constituent barangays in the city of Valenzuela, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Karuhatan is derived from the word "kaduhatan" meaning the "duhat" fruit tree or black plum. It was alternatively spelled as "Caruhatan." Around 40,000 residents live in this 190.6-hectare (471-acre) barangay.
