Ingeniørregimentet (English: Engineer Regiment) is a regiment in the Danish Army with base in Skive in Jutland. The soldiers of this regiment are trained in things like shooting, blasting, setting up camp and much more. The engineer troops are also trained to fight alongside other infantry regiments in combat zones if needed.

The Danish military engineering corps is almost entirely organized into one regiment, simply named Ingeniørregimentet ("The Engineering Regiment"). The core of the Danish combat engineers are the so-called armored engineers. These units usually work in separated squads, each under the command of an infantry company, and equipped with an M113. Their roles are combat demolition, minefield clearing, basic mine laying and EOR. They are also extensively trained as infantry, to support the ordinary troops in combat. Besides these units, the regiment has the different work fields of combat engineers (construction, EOD, CBRN) spread out over different companies.
