The Red–Green Alliance (Danish: Enhedslisten – De Rød-Grønne, literally Unity List – The Red–Greens, abbreviated Enhl., Ø) is a socialist and green political party in Denmark. It is the most left-wing party in the Danish Parliament, advocating for socialist democracy in Denmark and internationally.

The Red-Green Alliance was formed in 1989. The party's objective is fundamental changes in the property rights to the means of production towards the domination of more collective-based property rights, as well as to establish a socialist economy, based on the principles of democratic socialism, solidarity, and ecology.

It is the only party in the Folketing that has a collective leadership.

The party describes itself as a socialist and democratic grassroots party, which claims also to represent the peace movement, anti-discrimination movement, and trade union movement.

The party's ideological position is set out in a manifesto from 2003. It defines socialism as a form of society which will, in the long-term, lead to classlessness. The methods advocated may be different, depending on the course of class struggle, but will eventually require a revolution. Through this revolution, ownership of private property of the means of production should be transferred to the working class, while still guaranteeing democratic rights.

The party often adopts particular views in relation to the other parties in the Folketing and opt out of many of the settlements reached, seen as an expression of class collaboration. Until the conditions for the party's long-term goal are presented, however, the party will use its seats in parliament to vote for any improvement and against any deterioration of working-class people's lives. In line with this, the party agreed at its national conference in 2010 that if Helle Thorning-Schmidt became Prime Minister after the 2011 election, the party would vote for a "red" budget bill that did not contain obvious flaws.
