Denmark at the 2022 Winter Olympics

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. Curler Madeleine Dupont and hockey player Frans Nielsen were also named as the Danish flagbearers during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile speed skater Stefan Due Schmidt was the flagbearer during the closing ceremony.

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