Big Brother Denmark was the Danish version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother created by producer John de Mol in 1997. The show followed a number of contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate remaining winning a cash prize.

The show aired on TV Danmark between 28 January 2001 and 1 April 2006 who aired a 3 regular series, one celebrity (VIP) series and an "All-star" series before axing the show in 2006.

On 30 January 2012 Kanal 5 relaunched Big Brother airing its fourth series in 2012, fifth series in 2013 and the sixth and final series of Big Brother in 2014 that concluded on 27 April 2014.
