Count of Monpezat (Greve af Monpezat in Danish) is a Danish title of nobility granted on 30 April 2008 by the Queen of Denmark to her two sons and their legitimate patrilineal descendants of both sexes.

A count and his wife bear the title greve and grevinde, respectively. Their children are titled greve (sons) and komtesse (daughters). A woman cannot pass the title to her husband or elevate her husband's status.

Consequences

Should any of the Princes who are styled Count of Monpezat, who marry without consent of the Danish monarch, they will lose their dynastic rights and remain Count of Monpezat rather than Count of Rosenborg as the Counts of Rosenborg was domiciled Danish Princes of the House of Glücksburg.
