Horbaef (also known as Baefhor and Horbaf) was an Ancient Egyptian prince of the 4th dynasty. His title was "King's son". He was named after the god Horus.

Horbaef was a son of Pharaoh Khufu and an unknown woman. He married his half-sister Meresankh II, and they had two daughters, Nefertkau III and Nebty-tepites. They may have also had one son called Djaty. After Horbaef's death, his widow Meresankh married a pharaoh, her other half-brother, either Djedefra or Khafra, and thus she became a queen. It's possible that Djaty was a son of Meresankh's second husband because he had a title "king's son of his body", and Horbaef was a prince but never a king.

Horbaef was buried in mastaba G 7410-7420 at Giza. Meresankh was also buried there.
