Horne (alsoHorn,Hoorn orHoorne) is a small historiccounty of theHoly Roman Empire in the present dayNetherlands andBelgium. It takes its name from the villageHorn, west ofRoermond. The residence of the counts of Horne was moved from Horn toWeert in the 15th century.

After the execution in 1568 ofPhilip de Montmorency who died without male heirs, thePrince-Bishop of Liège, as suzerain of Horne, was declared the direct lord and new count. The bishops ruled the county in personal union. Horne maintained its own laws and customs as well as its financial autonomy. The county included the communes of Neer, Nunhem, Haelen, Buggenum, Roggel, Heythuysen, Horne, Beegden, Geystingen and Ophoven.^[1]

It was suppressed in 1795, when it wasoccupied by the French, and it became part of the French départementMeuse-Inférieure.
