'''Kungsbacka Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Kungsbacka kommun}}) is a [[Municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Halland County]] on the [[Sweden|Swedish]] west coast, some 30&nbsp;km south of [[Gothenburg]]. The municipal seat is located in the town [[Kungsbacka]].

In 1969 ''Tölö'' was merged into the ''City of Kungsbacka''. In 1971 the municipality was created when the city amalgamated with ''Särö''. The final step was taken in 1974 when three more former municipalities were added to form the new entity.

Kungsbacka Municipality is closely integrated in the region of [[Metropolitan Gothenburg]], but despite this it is administratively not a part of [[Västra Götaland County]] like the rest of the region.

A local geographical landmark is the [[glacial]] ridge [[Fjärås bräcka]], to the south of Kungsbacka, but it is the [[coast]] that is the predominant geographical feature. The municipality receives its drinking water from the nearby lake [[Lygnern]]; the water undergoes a natural filtering process as it trickles through the ridge, contributing to its quality.
