Ingenio et arti (from Latin: For Science and Art)[1] is a Danish medal awarded to prominent Danish and foreign scientists and artists.

[2] The honour, a personal award of the Monarch, was instituted by King Christian VIII in 1841,[3] and could be awarded to women as well as men.

The reverse shows The Genius of Light, engraved after the 1841 plaster relief by Bertel Thorvaldsen.

[4] The medal is awarded irregularly,[1] on average less than twice per year,[3] and was most recently (as of May 2021[update]) awarded to John Neumeier after the première of his ballet Mahler's 3rd Symphony on 19 May 2021[5] at the Copenhagen Opera House.
