General elections were held in Denmark on 21 September 1994.

Voter turnout was 84.3% in Denmark proper, 62.3% in the Faroe Islands and 56.7% in Greenland .

The sole elected independent MP in Denmark proper was Jacob Haugaard , who was associated with the Union of Conscientiously Work-Shy Elements . As of 2023, this is the only time an independent candidate has been elected to parliament under the current constitution. The re-election of the prime minister was also notable for being a rare example of Condorcet paradox observed on a country scale, discovered through prior opinion polls .
