Abstract: We present exact calculations of the Potts model partition function $Z(G,q,v)$ for arbitrary $q$ and temperature-like variable $v$ on $n$-vertex strip graphs $G$ of the honeycomb lattice for a variety of transverse widths equal to $L_y$ vertices and for arbitrarily great length, with free longitudinal boundary conditions and free and periodic transverse boundary conditions. These partition functions have the form $Z(G,q,v)=su{m}_{j=1}^{N_{Z,G,lambda}}{c}_{Z,G,j}(lambd{a}_{Z,G,j}{)}^m$, where $m$ denotes the number of repeated subgraphs in the longitudinal direction. We give general formulas for $N_{Z,G,j}$ for arbitrary $L_y$. We also present plots of zeros of the partition function in the $q$ plane for various values of $v$ and in the $v$ plane for various values of $q$. Explicit results for partition functions are given in the text for $L_y=2,3$ (free) and $L_y=4$ (cylindrical), and plots of partition function zeros are given for $L_y$ up to 5 (free) and $L_y=6$ (cylindrical). Plots of the internal energy and specific heat per site for infinite-length strips are also presented.
