Kjøbenhavns Skøjteløberforening, commonly known as KSF, are a Danish ice hockey team in Copenhagen currently playing in the third tier Danish ice hockey league, the second division. The team is the oldest skating club and ice hockey team in Denmark, having been established in 1869.

From 1870 to 1960 the club was based on the Copenhagen lakes, first at Sortedamssøen and from 1886 at Peblingesøen. In 1894 the team built Søpavillionen on the bank of Peblingesøen to act as a club house. The team moved to Østerbro in 1960 and from 1975 the team played in Østerbro Skøjtehal. That rink was demolished in 2008 and the team is currently residing in a temporary rink in Ryparken while a permanent rink, also at Ryparken, is under construction.

The team has won the Danish league title at least 10 times from 1956 to 1976. It was relegated out of the top league following the 1984-85 season and has not returned to the top division since.
