Kerteminde (nickname: Min Amandas by, i.e. My Amanda’s town), is a town in central Denmark, located in Kerteminde Municipality on the island of Funen. The town has a population of 6,044 (1 January 2024). It is a small harbor town surrounded by farms. Kerteminde contains a fish restaurant, Rudolf Mathis, the Viking museum Ladby, and the research and exhibition institution for fish and porpoises Fjord & Bælt.

The town’s name (1412 Kiertheminde, 1430 Kirtimynnæ) comes from the old name for Kerteminde Fjord, Kirta, followed by the Old Danish word minni, ‘mynni ‘mouth’.

Kerteminde is part of the Kerteminde-Drigstrup Parish, which was created on December 1, 2013 by merging the two parishes. Kerteminde Parish was quite small,[3] so in the 1920s Kerteminde grew beyond the parish boundaries and gained a suburb on Over Kærby Mark in Drigstrup Parish.

Kerteminde’s parish church, Sankt Laurentii Kirke, is located in the town. The town is also home to Emmauskirken, which is owned by Kerteminde-Dalby Valgmenighed, which also has Bethlehemskirken in Dalby.
