Danish Cultural Institute (DCI) is Denmark’s international cultural organization. It was founded in 1940 by the Government of Denmark as the Danish Society to promote international understanding and the exchange of culture, ideas, and experiences between Denmark and other countries. It was renamed the Danish Cultural Institute in 1989.

DCI promotes cultural exchanges worldwide and supports projects that build long‑term cooperation between foreign and Danish cultural institutions, artists, and other professionals. Its head office is in Copenhagen, and foreign offices began opening in 1947. The number and location of offices have varied over the years, and today the Institute has branch offices in many countries around the world.

DCI is a founding member of the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) and has held its presidency three times. The current CEO is Camilla Mordhorst.
