This is a list of urban areas in Denmark by population. For a list on cities in Denmark please see List of cities in Denmark by population.

The population is measured by Statistics Denmark for urban areas (Danish: byområderorbymæssige områder), which is defined as a contiguous built-up area with a maximum distance of 200 m between houses, unless further distance is caused by public areas, cemeteries or similar reasons. Furthermore, to obtain by-status, the area must have at least 200 inhabitants.^[1] Some urban areas in Denmark have witnessed conurbation and grown together.

Numbers correspond to the urban area's ranking in the list. Note that due to their close proximity, Aalborg (4) may cover up Nørresundby (27).
