'''Aarhus County''' or '''Århus County''' ({{langx|da|Århus Amt}}) is a former county of Denmark (Danish: ''amt'') on the Jutland peninsula. It was created in 1970 by a merger of three counties: Århus, Randers and Skanderborg. The county was abolished effective 1 January 2007, when almost all of it merged into Region Midtjylland (i.e. ''Region Central Jutland''). A very small portion was merged into Region Nordjylland (''Region North Jutland''). At the time of its abolishment, more than 20,000 people worked for the county.<ref>{{cite web |title=Information about the County of Aarhus |url=http://www.aaa.dk/english/main.htm |website=Aarhus Amt |access-date=23 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206180945/http://www.aaa.dk/english/main.htm |archive-date=2007-12-06 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Århus Amtskommune |url=https://lex.dk/%C3%85rhus_Amtskommune |website=Lex |access-date=2 June 2025 |language=da}}</ref>
