We calculate the production of Higgs bosons via W- and Z-boson fusion in ${e}^{+}$${e}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, ep, and pp collisions. Vector-boson fusion is the dominant contribution to Higgs-boson production in ${e}^{+}$${e}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ and pp collisions for heavy Higgs bosons and in ep collisions for all Higgs-boson masses. We determine the maximum Higgs-boson mass which is accessible in each type of collision.
