The 2019–20 Damehåndboldligaen (known as HTH Ligaen for sponsorship reasons) was the 84th season of Damehåndboldligaen, Denmark's premier handball league. Team Esbjerg were the defending champions and HH Elite were promoted from the 1. division.

The season was disrupted due to the covid-19 pandemic. On March 11th 2020, the Danish Handball Federation decided to cancel all matches at all levels the following 14 days.[1] On April 7th it was decided that the season would be declared over without playing the championship play-off or the remaining matches in the regular season and declare the leading team the champion.[2]

Team Esbjerg won the title, as they were leading the table at the time. EH Aalborg were relegated, as they were last in table at the time of cancellation.
