Kanslergården is a high-end houseing estate in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Constructed in 1919 to designs by Henning Hansen, with its imposing Baroque Revival architecture and large apartments, it set a new standard for public housing in the city. It was listed on the Danish register of protected buildings and places in 2001. In the same year, it was converted into condominiums. The building complex forms an L-shaped perimeter block, whose central courtyard is divided in two by a cross wing. It is surrounded by the namesake street Kanslergade, Serridslevvej and the small greenspace Ove Rodes Plads. Prime minister Thorvald Stauning resided in one of the apartments in 1933 when the Kanslergade Agreement was concluded in his apartment.
