DenFur (briefly Mile High Fur Con) is a furry convention which takes place annually in August in Denver, Colorado, USA and is organized by AEIOU, a 501(c)3. It was created to replace the defunct Rocky Mountain Fur Con.

The theme was "Rebuild" and the guests of honor were Kenket[4], Mischief Makers[5], Strobes[6], Majira Strawberry[7], 22mg[8], and Sunny Dingo[9].

The second DenFur was held August 2-4, 2019 with the theme "Space Exploration."[11] There were 2736 attendees, 334 fursuiters, with $15,000 raised for charity[12]. This convention was featured in some scenes of the film: The Fandom (documentary).
DenFur 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
DenFur returned in 2021 from August 20-22 with a theme based on Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. There were 2,566 attendees.[13]The convention moved to its current home at the Sheraton Downtown Denver, formerly the Adam's Mark Hotel, the host of the first Rocky Mountain Fur Con in 2007.
