Brumleby is an enclave of terraced houses in Copenhagen, Denmark, located between Øster Allé and Østerbrogade, just south of Parken Stadium and St. James' Church. Built for indigent workers by the Danish Medical Association from 1854 to 1872, it is one of the earliest examples of social housing in Denmark and became a model for later projects.
The development was designed by Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll in Neoclassical style and later expanded by Vilhelm Klein to a roughly similar design.
