Landsting elections were held in Denmark in March and April 1947. The public elected members of the electoral college on 1 April, who in turn elected 29 members of the Landsting on 11 April. A further 19 members were elected by outgoing parliament on 7 March,^[1] while a Faroese member was elected by the Løgting on 26 March.^[2]

Of the seven constituencies the seats representing constituencies number one (Copenhagen), four (Odense and Svendborg County), six (Hjørring, Aalborg, Thisted, Viborg and Randers County) and seven (the Faroe Islands) were up for election.

John Christmas Møller attributed the decline of his party—the Conservative People's Party—to his position regarding Southern Schleswig and resigned as parliamentary group leader as a consequence.^[1]
