The Danish Social-Liberal Party (Danish: Det Radikale Venstre) is a political party in Denmark. It was founded in 1905 as a split from Venstre. Literally, Det Radikale Venstre means radical left; that is misleading, as the party is traditionally described as being in the center of the Danish left-right political scale.

The party president is Søren Bald and it has nine members of parliament. The parliament group is lead by Marianne Jelved, former vice prime minister and minister of economic affairs. The party is currently in opposition.

It is a member of Liberal International and the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party.
