Harlev is a former railway town in Aarhus Municipality in Denmark, with a population of 3,904 as of 1 January 2024.

[1] It is a suburb only 13 kilometres west of central Aarhus and is located at the Danish national road 15.

Harlev developed as a railway town in 1902 when a train station of the former Hammelbanen rail road line was built on a field between the villages of Gammel Harlev and Framlev.

Hammelbanen formerly connected the inland town of Hammel with the port city of Aarhus and was important for the transportation of agricultural products, but it was decommissioned in 1956.

The former train station in Harlev has since been restored and is currently headquarters to a local scouting group.
