丹麦行政上分为五个大区 (丹麥語：regioner, 单数: region) 以及 98个 自治市. 这些大区是2007年新年设立的，是2007 Danish Municipal改革的一部分，取代了传统的13个县 (amter). 同时，较小的自治市 (kommuner) 被合并，将自治市的数量从270减为98个。The most important area of responsibility for the new regions is the national health service. Unlike the former counties, the regions are not allowed to levy taxes, and the health service is primarily financed by a national 8% (sundhedsbidrag) tax combined with funds from both government and municipalities. Each Regional Council consists of 41 politicians elected every four years, the first time as part of the 2005 Danish municipal elections.
Most of the new municipalities have a population of least 20,000 people, although a few exceptions were made to this rule.
格陵兰和法罗群岛也是丹麦王国的一部分，但是拥有自治地位，每个属地在丹麦议会有两个席位。
