The Commemorative Medal for Queen Ingrid (Danish: Mindemedaillen af Dronning Ingrid or Dronning Ingrids Mindemedalje) is a Danish award.
The medal was instituted on 8 March 1999 by Margrethe II of Denmark. She established the commemorative medal to mark what would have been the hundredth birthday of her mother, Queen Ingrid, who had died that year. The round silver commemorative medal was awarded to 75 family members, courtiers and people who had rendered distinguished service at her funeral. Recipients may place the letters Dr.I.M.M. 28 mars 2001 after their names.
The obverse of the medal, struck by Jydsk Emblem Fabrik AS, depicts the reigning queen. The circular inscription reads “MARGARETHE II REGINA DANIÆ”. The medal is attached to the ribbon by a royal crown and a ring. The reverse depicts the crowned royal monogram, with the intertwined letter “I” twice, and two dates.
Men wear the medal on the left breast, suspended from a red ribbon folded into a pentagon, with a white cross woven into it.
