'''Ånge Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Ånge kommun}}) is a [[Municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Västernorrland County]], northern [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in [[Ånge]].

The railway junction Ånge was in 1947 made a market town (''[[köping]]'') and detached from ''Borgsjö''. In 1971 they were reunited and together with ''Haverö'' and ''Torp'' the present municipality was formed.

The municipal most known slogan is ''Sweden's geographical center''. It was in 1947 measured by the [[Royal Institute of Technology]] to be situated by the lake Munkbysjön (''Lake Munkby''), in the municipality's eastern parts. In 2002 the slogan was changed to ''Wonderful byways''.

13 kilometers east of the town Ånge lies the town Borgsjö. It has a widely acclaimed [[rococo]] church from the 18th century.
