Thorsgade (lit.'Thor Street') is a mainly residential street in the Mimersgade Quarter of Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Denmark, linking Nørrebrogade in the southwest to Tagensvej in the northeast. The first part of the street is only open to one-way traffic in the direction from Nørrebrogade to Dagmarsgade. The street takes its name after the Norse god Thor. The now decommissioned Samuel's Church is located at No. 65.

Thorsparken, a small public park between Thorsgade and Allersgade, offers facilities such as a playground, soccer cage, picnic tables and benches.

Created in 1863, Thorsgade is one of the oldest streets in the Outer Nørrebro area. It is also one of the first streets in Nørrebro named with inspiration from Norse mythology. It was initially just a short street that linked Dagmarsgade with Odinsgade. At the time of the 1870 census, Thorsgade was still only home to 22 families and It only consisted of five house numbers (No. 1-5 and No. 2-4). The street was towards the end of the century extended to Nørrebrogade (then Lygtevej) in one end and to Mimersgade (then Rosagade ) in the other.[1]

The street was not extended from Mimersgade to Tagensvej until the late 1910s. The site where Thorsgade meets Tagensvej had until then been the site of a windmill named Tagensmølle and Mansfeld Hollners Teknisk Kemiske Fabrik (Mansfeld Hollner's Technical Chemical Factory).[2] Tagensmølle was later renamed Jagtvejens Mølle og Brødfabrik (Jagtvej Mill & Bread Factory. It was demolished in 1917.[1]
