Denmark competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China. This is a list of all of the Danish athletes who qualified for the Olympics and their results. The goal set out by Team Danmark and the Danish Sports' Union (Dansk Idræts-Forbund, DIF) was seven medals. The distribution of gold, silver and bronze medals in this goal was not specified. Denmark's medal haul at the games was indeed seven, including two golds, two silvers and three bronze.[2]

Team Danmark and DIF believed Denmark had the best chances of winning a medal in wrestling, cycling, handball, the equestrian events, rowing, athletics, badminton and sailing, but hoped to see table tennis and triathlon make the podium as well.[2]

The entire Danish Olympic squad was announced on 21 June 2008 with final confirmation on 8 July.[3]

On 14 August, placing third in the equestrian team dressage event, Denmark won its first medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
