Pan Idræt is the joint name for two sports clubs in the capital of Denmark.

Pan Idræt København was founded on 6 May 1984 whereas Pan Idræt Frederiksberg was founded on 12 April 2012 in the Student House (Studenterhuset) in Copenhagen. Most of the associations' member are homosexual, bisexual or transgendered, while heterosexuals make up around 10% of the membership. Until 2000, Pan Idræt was part of the National Association for Gays and Lesbians (now known as LGBT+ Danmark)

Both clubs have status as public education associations in the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg respectively.

Both clubs are multi-discipline, i.e.the clubs each have sections for various different sports. In 2021, there were more than 25 of these.

The activities are primarily sport for all based on the values of the Danish Sport and Gymnastics Association: community, challenge and health. IN the autumn of 2015, Pan Idræt København won the Danish Championships in Sports Club Development, and has become an influential organisation not just in Denmark, but also across Europe. Pan Idræt has also founded the Rainbow Coalition for Sport, which works for inclusion in sport in close cooperation with a number of national sports organisations, national federations and other players in the field of sport and inclusion.

Two associations have identical structures. For each, the general meeting is the highest decision-making body, while the daily management is undertaken by the Board. The individual sports sections are each responsible for running and developing their respective sports.

Pan Idræt is part of the extensive global sports network for rainbow athletes. Pan Idræt is thus a member of the European Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation (EGLSF). At national level, Pan Idræt is a member of the Danish Sports and Gymnastics Association (DGI) as well as a number of national sports federations under the Danish Olympic Committee (DIF). Pan Idræt Frederiksberg is also a member of Frederiksberg Idræts-Union.

In 2015, Pan Idræt founded the organisation Happy Copenhagen together with Copenhagen Pride with the objective of securing hosting rights to two mega LGBT-events in Copenhagen in 2021. The bids were successful and Pan Idræt secured the licence to hold EuroGames 2021, and Copenhagen Pride was awarded the licence to host WorldPride in Copenhagen. The events were jointly held under the name Copenhagen 2021 - WorldPride & EuroGames.

EuroGames is a European multi-sport tournament licenced by EGLSF. EuroGames 2021 included 22 sports tournaments, 2000 participants, lots of grassroots sports activities and involved in excess of 70 sports clubs from the Copenhagen area as well as a sports leader conference focussing on club development and inclusion in sport.
