'''Horsens Håndboldklub Elite''' is a [[Denmark|Danish]] handball club. For the 2018/19 season, the team promoted to the [[Danish Women's Handball League|Damehåndboldligaen]], after its relegation in 2010. The team plays at home in [[Forum Horsens]].
The club was established in 1985 when Horsens forenede Håndboldklubber (HfH) and Dagnæs IF chose to merge. And HfH itself is a merge of Horsens Freja and Horsens forenede Sportsklubber (HfS). Horsens HK therefore can lead its roots back to 1920 when they began playing handball in HfS. Horsens HK played in the top level uninterrupted from 1996 to 2010. Just before the 2011/2012 HH Elite were relegated administratively due to not paying the participants' fee for the Danish 1. division in time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hasseriis |first=Jørgen |date=2019-11-12 |title=Ny supporterklub i HH Elite dyrker fællesskabet og håber på flere medlemmer |url=https://ugeavisen.dk/horsensposten/ny-supporterklub-i-hh-elite-dyrker-faellesskabet-og-haaber-paa-flere-medlemmer |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=Ugeavisen |language=da}}</ref>
