The Samsø Bælt , named after the island Samsø , is a strait in Denmark that the Great Belt to the Kattegat connects. In the north it is bordered towards the Kattegat by a line between the tip of the Ebeltoft peninsula and Gniben on Sjællands Odde , in the south-west it borders between Juelsminde and Æbelø on the Little Belt and in the south between Romsø and the peninsulas Asnæs and Røsnæs on the Great Belt or to the Kalundborg Fjord .

Part of the Samsø Bælt is considered part of the Kattegat, partly also as part of the Great Belt.

Sometimes only the water east of Samsø, i.e. between Samsø, Sejerø and Rosnæs, is referred to as Samsø Bælt in a narrower sense .
