Greenlandic people in Denmark (also known as Greenlandic Danes) are residents of Denmark with Greenlandic or Greenlandic Inuit heritage. According to StatBank Greenland, as of 2020, there were 16,780 people born in Greenland living in Denmark, a figure representing almost one third of the population of Greenland. According to a 2007 Danish government report, there were 18,563 Greenlandic people living in Denmark. The exact number is difficult to calculate because of the lack of differentiation between Greenlandic and Danish heritage in Danish government records and also due to the fact that the way in which people identify themselves is not always a reflection of their birthplace. As of 2018, there were 2,507 Greenlanders enrolled in education in Denmark. Greenlanders have Danish citizenship as Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.

According to the International Work Group of Indigenous Affairs, rates of homelessness are 50% higher among Greenlandic people in Denmark than ethnic Danes. Greenlandic people residing in Denmark are also 12 times more likely to be receiving treatment for alcoholism. Greenlandic people report facing discrimination when dealing "with public authorities, the health care system, employers and the educational system." Prejudicial attitudes are reflected in Danish vernacular with the expression "drunk as a Greenlander" being used to describe anyone who has had too much alcohol. Classification There is ambiguity regarding numbers of Greenlandic people in Denmark due to the nature of the Greenlandic-Danish citizenship. As of the 1953 Danish constitution, Greenland was made a constituency of Denmark and therefore Greenlanders were given Danish citizenship. This allows Greenlandic people to move freely between Greenland and Denmark. Under Danish law, it is prohibited to include race or ethnicity in its civil registration system (Det Centrale
