The Danish Minister of Communications (Danish: Kommunikationsminister), was a minister in the government of Denmark, with overall responsibility for strategy and policy across communications, often combined with other areas.
Following the creation of the second cabinet of Poul Schlüter areas of radio, television and parts of the postal and telegraph services were transferred to new Minister of Communications. In 1994, the position was abolished and the minister's responsibilities were placed under the Minister of Science.[1]
