'''Langeskov''' is a [[town]] in central Denmark, with a population of 4,363 (1 January 2024),<ref name="BY3">[https://m.statbank.dk/TableInfo/BY3?lang=en BY3: population 1. January by rural and urban areas, area and population density] The Mobile Statbank from [[Statistics Denmark]]</ref> located in [[Kerteminde Municipality]] in [[Region of Southern Denmark]] on the island of [[Funen]].

The town of Langeskov is primarily located in [[Rønninge parish]] and was established following the construction of the [[railway]] line between [[Odense]] and [[Nyborg]] in the 19th century. The town has grown rapidly and its northern part now crosses the old [[parish]] border and extends into the parish of [[Birkende]]. Until 1 January 2007, it was the seat of the municipal council of the now former [[Langeskov Municipality]].
