Gøtudanskt (pronounced [ˈkøːʰtʊtaŋ̊kst], also Dano-Faroese) is a variety of Danish spoken in the Faroe Islands by Faroe Islanders. Its pronunciation is influenced by Faroese, the usual native language of Gøtudanskt speakers.

Gøtudanskt arose as a product of compulsory Danish language instruction in education in the Faroe Islands; its speakers routinely code-switch between Faroese and Gøtudanskt depending on their interlocutor's knowledge of Faroese.
