Denmark competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022.^[1][2]

With the debut of both the men's and women's ice hockey teams, this was the largest delegation Denmark ever sent to the Winter Games, and more than 3 times the size of the previous largest delegation, which was 18 in 2010.

On 20 January 2022, it was announced the Danish team would consist of 62 athletes (33 men and 29 women) competing in five sports.^[3] Curler Madeleine Dupont and hockey player Frans Nielsen were also named as the Danish flagbearers during the opening ceremony.^[3] Meanwhile speed skater Stefan Due Schmidt was the flagbearer during the closing ceremony.^[4]

Their best placement was 7th, in the men's ice hockey tournament.

The following is the list of number of competitors participating at the Games per sport/discipline.

Sport	Men	Women	Total
Alpine skiing	1	0	1
Biathlon	0	1	1
Curling	5	5	10
Ice hockey	25	23	48
Speed skating	2	0	2
Total	33	29	62

By meeting the basic qualification standards Denmark qualified one male and one female alpine skier, but declined the female quota.^[5]

Casper Dyrbye Næsted	Men's slalom	1:01.38	38	55.89	31	1:57.27	30

Based on the IBU Qualifying Points list Denmark qualified one athlete – Ukaleq Slettemark. Slettemark competes for Greenland (a constituent country in the Kingdom of Denmark) in the Biathlon World Cup, but as they don't have a National Olympic Committee, Greenlandic athletes compete at the Olympics for Denmark.

Athlete	Event	Time	Misses	Rank
Ukaleq Slettemark	Women's sprint	23:54.6	0 (0+0)	65
	Women's individual	50:27.4	0 (0+0+0+0)	53
