Rørvig is a small town with a population of 993 (1 January 2025) in the northern part of the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in eastern Denmark.
== Geography == Rørvig is surrounded by water on three sides: to the north is the Kattegat, to the east is the channel leading into Roskilde Fjord, and to the south is the Isefjord. There is a small fishing industry there, as well as a marina for pleasure craft. The pier is excellent for crabbing (take a peg, a long piece of string and a bucket; the local fish shop usually has old fish heads for bait!). A short distance from Rørvig is a site that is in the centre of Denmark. The centre of Denmark is marked with a big stone.
