Holbæk County () is a former Danish county on Zealand.
History Holbæk County was established in 1662 as a replacement of the old Holbæk Fief (Holbæk Len). It consisted of two hundreds, Merløse (without Orø, which belonged to Jægerspris County) and Tuse. At the 1793 Danish County Reform, Kalundborg County, Dragsholm County and Sæbygård were merged into Holbæk County. In 1970, Holbæk County was merged with Sorø County to form West Zealand County (Vestsjællands Amt).
