A.H. Haden Motorcycles was a British motorcycle marque from Birmingham.
Haden was originally a bicycle-making business in Hockley, Birmingham, begun in the late 1880s, after the safety bicycle was introduced. The business passed from G.J. Haden to his son A.H. Haden, who continued making bicycles from 1902-1912, moving into more extensive motorcycle production around the time of World War I. The only known surviving Haden machines are 347cc two-stroke cycle models.
Alfred's sons took over the business after 1937. It then became "Haden Bros.", and made tank parts during World War II. Haden Bros. continued to be well-known for making cycle and motorcycle parts, and these were sold worldwide from 1954 until 2002 when the company folded. One of the brothers also founded the famous Haden kettle manufacturing company.
