Valby is one of the 15 administrative, statistical, and tax city districts (bydele) comprising the municipality of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is situated on the southwest border of the municipality. It covers an area of 9.23 km², has a population of 46,161 and a population density of 5,002 per km². Copenhagen Zoo (Københavns Zoologiske Have) is a ten minute walk from the centre of Valby. Toftegårds Plads is the main square in Valby, featuring a Christmas tree during the Christmas season.
Neighboring city districts are as follows:
- to the east are Kongens Enghave and Vesterbro
- to the north is Frederiksberg municipality, which is not a part of Copenhagen municipality but rather an enclave surrounded by the municipality
- to the west is Hvidovre municipality, which is outside of the Copenhagen municipality area
- to the south is a body of water called 'Kalvebod' which separates it from the island 'Amager' where Copenhagens international airport 'Kastrup' is located.
