Borgen (Danish pronunciation: [ˈb̥ɒːˀʊ̯ən]) is a Danish political drama television series created by Adam Price. It tells how Birgitte Nyborg, a politician, becomes the first female Prime Minister of Denmark against all the odds. Borgen is the informal name of Christiansborg Palace and is where the three branches of Danish government reside: the Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court.

The series stars Sidse Babett Knudsen as Birgitte Nyborg Christensen; Mikael Birkkjær as her husband; Pilou Asbæk as Kasper Juul, a spin doctor; Birgitte Hjort Sørensen as Katrine Fønsmark, a TV1 news anchor; Søren Malling as Torben Friis, news editor for TV1; and Benedikte Hansen as Hanne Holm, a journalist. The show's creator, Adam Price, is a co-writer with Jeppe Gjervig Gram and Tobias Lindholm. DR, the Danish public broadcaster, previously produced The Killing, another international Danish hit series.
