Silkeborg SF was an ice hockey team in Silkeborg, Denmark. They won the first Jütland Regional Tournament in 1953-54, and repeated as champions the following year and thus qualified for the Danish Championship, where they finished in third place after losing both of their games. They again claimed the Jutland tournament in 1955-56, but declined to participate in the national championship due to logistics. Silkeborg would add further Jutland titles in 1959 and 1960.

In 1959-60, Silkeborg was beaten soundly in the semifinal of the Danish National Championship by Rungsted IK, 17-1. After going winless (0-6) in the newly-created 1. division in 1960-61, Silkeborg was forced to participate in the relegation round, and wound up being demoted to the 2. division. They never again reappeared in the top-tier of Danish hockey.

Silkeborg SF saw a decline during the 1960s, as while many contemporary Danish clubs moved into newly-constructed indoor rinks, Silkeborg continued playing on a natural ice rink. They eventually dissolved during the 1970s. The club would later be revived in 2013 and join the third-level Danish Division 2.
