The Danish Women's 2nd Division (Danish: Danmarksturneringens 2. division i kvindefodbold, Kvinde-DM 2. division or Kvinde 2. division) is a semi-professional association football league for women and the third division in Denmark. It is organized by the Danish Football Association (DBU) as part of the nation-wide Danmarksturneringen i kvindefodbold (Kvinde-DM) and is positioned between the second-tier Kvinde 1. division and the fourth-tier Kvindeserien in the Danish football league system.[1] All of the 2nd Division clubs qualify for the proper rounds of the DBU KvindePokalen.[2] Contested by 14[nb 1] clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation between the Kvinde 1. division and the Kvindeserien. At the conclusion of the regular fall season, the two group winners and four clubs from the second division qualify to the promotion play-offs in the spring season for four spots in the next season's second division, while four teams are relegated following the relegation play-offs.[1]

Between 2021 and 2023 the winners of each relegation play-off group participated in a final to determine the winner of the 2nd Division.[1] The highest level for reserve squads is the third tier.[3][1]
