Abstract Inclusive jet cross sections are measured in photoproduction at HERA using the H1 detector. The data sample of e+p -> e+jet+X events in the kinematic range of photon virtualities Q2 < 1GeV2 and photon-proton centre-of-mass energies 95 < W < 285 GeV represents an integrated luminosity of 24.1 pb-1. Jets are defined using the inclusive kT algorithm. Single and multi-differential cross sections are measured as functions of jet transverse energy E_t^jet and pseudorapidity ta^jet in the domain 5 < E_T^jet < 75 GeV and -1 < eta^jet < 2.5. The cross sections, which vary by six orders of magnitude over the measured range, are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations corrected for fragmentation and underlying event effects.
