《丹麦人的事迹》(丹麦语:“Gesta Danorum”;英语:“Deeds of the Danes”)是一部歌颂丹麦历史的爱国主义作品,在12世纪晚期由学者薩克索·格拉瑪提庫斯所撰写。它是現存最充分地記載中世纪丹麦人雄心和事蹟的文学,並是最早的记录爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚历史的文献之一,所以它也是国民研究丹麦早期历史的重要来源。
第一个印刷版也是现存最老的萨克索作品的全本是由克里斯蒂恩·佩德森整理的版本。它用拉丁语书写,于1514年3月15日在法国巴黎由印刷匠乔斯·巴德整理出版。当时的名字叫做《丹麦国王和英雄史》(拉丁语:Danorum Regum heroumque Historiae),并于扉页上注明:...由学者乔斯·巴德印刷,于1514年3月15日在美丽的巴黎出版(拉丁语:impressit in inclyta Parrhisorum academia Jodocus Badius Ascensius Idibus Martiis. MDXIIII. Supputatione Romana.)。
