'''Royal Danish Library''' ({{lang-da|Det Kgl. Bibliotek}}) is a merger of the two previous [[national libraries]] in [[Denmark]]: the [[State and University Library, Denmark|State and University Library]] in [[Aarhus]] and the [[Royal Library, Denmark|Royal Library]] in [[Copenhagen]]. Although now under a single organisation, the separate locations in both cities are maintained.
