The Intelligence Regiment ({{langx|da|Efterretningsregimentet}}, EFR) is a regiment of the Royal Danish Army. It was originally created as the Army Intelligence Centre ({{langx|da|Hærens Efterretnings Center}}), and was a collection of all intelligence units, created by the Danish Defence Agreement 2013-2017 on the basis of lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq.{{cite web|title=The army forces intelligence service with new centre|url=http://forsvaret.dk/HST/Nyt%20og%20Presse/forlig2013-17/Documents/forlig_12_290114.pdf|access-date=8 December 2015|language=da|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150111030827/http://forsvaret.dk/HST/Nyt%20og%20Presse/forlig2013-17/Documents/forlig_12_290114.pdf|archive-date=11 January 2015|url-status=dead}} Following the Danish Defence Agreement 2018–23, the centre was upgraded to a regiment and the name was changed.
