The Danish Folketing election of 1939 was held on 3 April 1939, except on the Faroe Islands where the election was held on 19 April. The election followed a dissolution of both chambers in order to call a referendum on changing the constitution. The referendum was held on 23 May but failed due to a low voter turnout.
