The Industry Party (Danish: Erhvervspartiet) was a political party in Denmark in the 1910s and 1920s. It aimed to represent small and medium traders, primarily in Copenhagen.

History

The party was established in 1917,^[1] and received 1.3% of the vote in the 1918 elections, when it won a single seat.^[2] The party increased its vote share to 2.9% in the April 1920 elections, winning four seats. It maintained its four seats in the July 1920 elections, but was reduced to three seats in the September 1920 elections.^[2]

In 1922 the party split in two, with both factions significantly weakened.^[1] In the 1924 elections the party received just 0.2% of the national vote and lost all three seats.^[2]
