Denmark competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics in , Sweden. 152 competitors, 151 men and 1 woman, took part in 46 events in 13 sports.

Ranks given are within that athlete's heat for running events.
Eight cyclists represented Denmark. It was the first appearance of the nation in cycling. Olaf Meyland-Smith had the best time in the time trial, the only race held, placing 25th. The top four Danish cyclists had a combined time that placed them 8th of the 15 teams.
(The maximum score in each of the five events was 10.00 points. Ranks given are for the cumulative score after each event. Team score is the sum of the top three individual scores.)
Six fencers represented Denmark. It was the fourth appearance of the nation in fencing, in which Denmark had competed each time the nation appeared at the Olympics. Ivan Osiier was the only Danish fencer to advance to the final in an event, eventually capturing the silver medal in the épée. His second-place finish was the best in Danish Olympic fencing history at the time, as no Danish fencer had gotten to a final since Holger Nielsen won the bronze in the 1896 sabre competition.
