Zealand (; ) is the largest (7,031 km) and most populated island in Denmark with a population of 2,267,659 (39% of Denmark total as of January 2016).
It is the 96th-largest island in the world by area and the 35th most populous. It is connected to Funen by the Great Belt Bridge, to Lolland, Falster (and Germany from 2021) by the Storstrøm Bridge and the Farø Bridges. Zealand is also linked to Amager by five bridges. Zealand is linked indirectly, through intervening islands by a series of bridges and tunnels, to southern Sweden.

The island is not connected historically to the Pacific nation of New Zealand, which is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland.
