Tommerup is a municipality in central Denmark, in the county of Funen. The municipality covers an area of 74 km², and has a total population of 7,755.
Tommerup is a fusion of five small communities, nearby Odense. Most villagers work in the more urbanised areas, but cattle is also kept and Tommerup is home to a stone factory. Because of clay shortages, this factory is mainly used for special ceramic products, such as a vase, five metres high, which was exhibited on the World's Fair in Sevilla, in 1992.
In 1996, Tommerup declared itself Cultural Village of Europe. In 1999, it became part of the European network of villages known as Cultural Village of Europe.
