The Danish Court Administration (Danish: Domstolsstyrelsen) is the national council of the judiciary of Denmark. It is an independent institution responsible for the management and development of the Danish court system and Appeals Permission Board.[1]

The Danish Court Administration was established on July 1, 1999. It is run by an eleven-member board of governors and director, and subordinate to the Ministry of Justice. It maintains a degree of autonomy, and the Ministry of Justice cannot alter decisions made by the Court Administration.[2]

The Board of Governors consists of 11 members. Eight of them are representatives of the court, one is a lawyer, and two "have special management and social insights".[2]
