The following Bernstein‐type theorem in hyperbolic spaces is proved. Let ∑ be a non‐zero constant mean curvature complete hypersurface in the hyperbolic space ℍ n . Suppose that there exists a one‐to‐one orthogonal projection from ∑ into a horosphere. (1) If the projection is surjective, then ∑ is a horosphere. (2) If the projection is not surjective and its image is simply connected, then ∑ is a hypersphere.
