Slagelse is a town in east Denmark, located in Slagelse municipality on the island of Zealand. It is located about 100 km (62 miles) south-west of Copenhagen. Population is about 31,800 (2006).

Hans Christian Andersen studied in the grammar school in this city for a few years but described it as a "nuisance". In the 11th century it had a mint and was an important trading center. The city has an 11th-century church, and nearby is (Trelleborg), a Viking fortress.

Slagelse is twinned with Aberdare, Wales.
