Bispehaven (English: The Bishop Garden) is a housing project and the largest department of the housing cooperative Østjysk Bolig in Aarhus, Denmark. The project is located in the western suburb of Hasle and mostly consists of concrete apartments, but with small two-story attached town houses, too. The buildings were thoroughly renovated in 2004–07.[1]

Bispehaven has c. 2,500 inhabitants, with a high percentage of 1st- and 2nd-generation immigrants (approximately 70%).[2] The area has been known as a so-called ghetto area, as one of many in western Aarhus (Aarhus V). The crime and the unemployment rate is high compared to other areas of Aarhus.[citation needed]

The Danish rapper Marwan shot his first commercial music video in Bispehaven. The name of the song is "Min Blok", meaning My Block.
