Låsby is a small town in the province of Jutland in Denmark with a population of 2,086 (1 January 2025).[1] It is situated on the main road between Silkeborg and Aarhus.

The town was the location of the flagship property of Det Blå Marked (trans. "The Blue Market"), a chain of Danish antique markets, and which was a major tourist attraction, bringing in over half a million visitors to the town every year. Det Blå Marked was closed in summer 2021, as fewer and fewer visitors came in recent years.[2]

In April 2005 it had its 15 minutes of fame as it became the first place in Denmark to experience the exploding toad phenomenon.
