Hovedstadsregionen (English: The capital region) (now obsolete) was the name of the greater metropolitan region around and including Copenhagen (København), Denmark. It included the counties of Copenhagen, Frederiksborg and Roskilde.

It was replaced by Region Hovedstaden (Copenhagen Capital Region) as an administrative region on January 1, 2007 as part of the 2007 Danish Municipal Reform. However this region includes the island of Bornholm (in the Baltic Sea 100 nautical miles from Copenhagen) and excludes the south-west parts of greater Copenhagen. A more practical geographical term is the Copenhagen local transport area - the HUR area, which includes 2900 square kilometers of land and 1.881.984 inhabitants.
