The Hubbard model on the Kagome lattice is a widely used interacting model for describing the electronic properties of various transition metal-based Kagome materials. We find altermagnetism driven by Coulomb interaction in the Kagome Hubbard model at Dirac filling with no spin-orbit coupling nor explicit spatial symmetry breaking present. We show how this insulating altermagnet is relevant to other lattices with larger unit cells such as the Lieb-Kagome lattice. The ALM found displays a characteristic magnon splitting which can be detected in inelastic neutron scattering experiments on interacting Kagome materials.
