Greenlandic Danes are residents of Denmark with Greenlandic Inuit background and descent. There are around 20,000 people of Greenlandic Inuit descent living in Denmark.[1]

In 2018, 16,470 people of Greenlandic descent were recorded in Denmark, a figure almost one third the population of Greenland.[2]
On average each year, not fewer than 316 Greenlanders move to Denmark from Greenland, which is about 0.5% of the Greenlandic population.[3]
