Horex is a German motorcycle manufacturer. It was founded in 1923 by Fritz Kleemann in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe in Hesse. From 1935 to the mid-1950s, the company operated as Horex-Columbus-Werk K.G.,then as Horex-Werke KG.

The brand name Horex originated from Homburg, supplemented by the Rex trademark of the parents Rex canning glass company Bad Homburg. In 1960, Daimler-Benz AG took over the Horex works and dissolved them. Since 2010, the newly founded Horex GmbH in Augsburg owned the trademark rights and built motorcycles under the old name. In August 2014, owner Clemens Neese filed for bankruptcy. 3C-Carbon Composite Company GmbH took over the Horex brand in January 2015.
