The Hirschhorner Höhe is a mountain range in the Hessian Odenwald , which is located in the area of Beerfelden and Rothenberg in the Odenwaldkreis and Hirschhorn (Neckar) in the Bergstrasse district. A small part in the southeast belongs to Eberbach in the North Baden Rhein-Neckar district .

The north-south extension is around 13 kilometers. In the west and east, the valleys of Finkenbach and Gammelsbach, approaching the Neckar, limit the ridge, leaving it almost three kilometers wide in the north and four and a half kilometers in the south.
