Hanzer Frères, known as Hanzer, was a French car maker based in Petit-Ivry, Ivry-sur-Seine. They began building cars in 1899 and stopped in 1903. The first model in 1899 was a tricycle. In 1900 they released a small car powered by a 3 hp De Dion-Bouton engine. In 1901 they made two- and four-seater models with 6 hp engines from the Paris company Ateliers de Construction Mecanique l'Aster (Aster). In 1902 production was taken over by the Parisian company Durey-Sohy. A 1902 Hanzer car survives at the Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum in Halland, East Sussex, and is occasionally used in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. In 1903 the range included the 5 hp and 6 hp single-cylinder cars and the 9 hp two-cylinder car.
