Romani people in Denmark constitute an insignificant minority group in the Kingdom of Denmark

The first recorded Romani people in Denmark came from Scotland in the year 1505.[3] Danish police drove out most Roma in Denmark by the 1939.[4]

Based on 2013 data, the Council of Europe has estimated that around 5,500 Romani people live in Denmark (0.1% of the Danish population).[1] The Danish Roma minority speak Scandoromani.[5]

Danish Roma are concentrated in Helsingør and Copenhagen.[2]
