Danish Unity or Danish Collection (Danish: Dansk Samling, DS) is a political party in Denmark, founded in 1936 by Arne Sørensen.[2] In 1939 the National Unity party, established by Victor Pürschel in 1938, merged with the party.[3] It contested elections in 1939, 1943, 1945, 1947, April 1953 and then once more in 1964. It remains as a political organisation.

In the March 1943 general election - relatively free, though held under German occupation - the party took a clear anti-occupation position, and gained 2.2% of votes cast.[4]

Danish Unity was also a political party doing the Second World War and involved with the Danish resistance movement against the German occupation.da

Based on a form of Christian nationalism, it presented itself as a third way between socialism and liberalism.

It later campaigned against Danish membership in the EU.

In October 2013, Morten Uhrskov Jensen replaced Adam Wagner as national chairman; since then, the organization has had an increase of members. It has one elected representative, a councillor in Herning.
