Hornsherred (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a peninsula between Roskilde Fjord and Isefjord on the island of Zealand in eastern Denmark.

It falls within the expanded Frederikssund municipality and includes Jægerspris and Skibby and before 1 January 2007 a part of Bramsnæs Municipality, now a part of Lejre Municipality. It is connected to Frederikssund by the Kronprins Frederik bridge which was built in 1935. The area is increasingly popular as a venue for tourists with facilities for walking, cycling and sailing.
