Skibstrup is a settlement located on the coast between Helsingør and Hornbæk in North Zealand, Denmark.
The origins of the name is uncertain but it may means "The settlement by the ship".
In 1681, Skibstrup consisted of seven tenant farms and two houses without land.
Their names were Skellebæk, Gørlunde, Tranager, Rosendal, Skadenborg (now called Viehøjgaard), Hagenberg and Aldersborg.
When the Hornbæk Railway opened in 1906, Skobstrup began to grow, first along the Kattegat coast and later inland.
