Horssen was an East Indiaman operated by the Delft chamber of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie; VOC). She was launched in 1784 and made the voyage to the Far East in 1786. She then had sailed for several nearby ports in Asia, when she finally set out for the successful return voyage in 1791, carrying aboard the prisoner Mary Bryant to Cape Town. After arriving in Europe in 1792 she was put out of service.
