Hægersborg Allé is a major street in the Charlottenlund and Jægersborg neighborhoods of Gentofte Municipality in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Strandvejen in the southeast to a junction just east of Kægersborg station in the northwest. The first leg of the road passes through Charlottenlund Forest, and it later follows the north boundary of Bernstorff Park. It passes a number of historic buildings, including Charlottenlund Palace, Bernstorff Palace and Schæffergården.
Jægersborg Allé was built on the orders of King Christian V by farmers from the parish of Gentofte. It is first mentioned in 1695, and it is believed that it was completed in the summer of 1706. The road provided a direct connection between Jægersborg and Gyldenlund and would also be used for royal hunts. He also constructed a pheasantry en route between the two properties. It was used for breeding pheasants for the royal hunts. Christian V died in 1699, and therefore, never saw his road finished.
Gyldenlund was taken over by queen Charlotte Amalie and replaced by Charlottenlund Palace in 1730–733. J.H.E. Bernstorff received the Pheasantry from the king and constructed Bernstorff House at the site. Hægersborg was replaced by the Hermitage in Jægersborg Deer Garden and demolished in circa 1760. Bernstorffvej was constructed in 1770, linking the Royal Frederiksborg Toad with Bernstorff House and Jægersborg Allé.
In 1829, Jægersborg Allé was finally opened to the public. Carriages had to pay a fee which was collected at a boom barrier in Charlottenlund. The area became more accessible with the opening of the Læampenborg and Ltngby Railways in 1863. The land along the road was gradually built over.
