Region Midtjylland (English: Region Central Jutland) is a future administrative region created under the Danish Municipal Reform, which replaces the traditional counties ("amter") with five larger regions. At the same time, smaller municipalities will be merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 271 to 98. The reform will be implemented in Denmark on 1 January 2007.
The new Region Midtjylland is located on the north-central portion of the Jutland peninsula and will consist of the former counties of Ringkjøbing and Århus (save the western half of Mariager municipality which will join Region Nordjylland), most of the former county of Viborg, and the northern half of Vejle County. The areas in question from the two latter counties are the current municipalities of Bjerringbro, Fjends, Hvorslev, Karup, Kjellerup, Møldrup, Sallingsund, Skive, Spøttrup, Sundsøre, Tjele, and Viborg from Viborg County and Brædstrup, Gedved, Hedensted, Horsens, Juelsminde, Nørre-Snede og Tørring-Uldum from Vejle County.
