The de Neergaard family is a Danish noble family descended from War Councillor Peter Johansen Neergaard, whose two sons Jens Bruun de Neergaard (1742–1788) and Johan Thomas de Neergaard (1745–1806) were ennobled on 31 May 1780. Descendants of Jens Bruun de Neergaard are referred to as the 'elder branch', whereas descendants of Johan Thomas de Neergaard are referred to as the 'younger branch'.

Members of the de Neergaard family have been major landowners for generations. Estates that are currently owned by the de Neergaard family include: Svenstrup (since 1751), Gunderslevholm (since 1803), Førslevgaard (since 1803), Gyldenholm (since 1862), Valdemarskilde, and Løvegaard (since 1963).
