'''Hedemora Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Hedemora kommun}}) is a municipality in Dalarna County in central Sweden. Its seat is in the city of Hedemora.

In 1966 the ''City of Hedemora'' was amalgamated with the rural municipality by the same name and with ''Husby''.

==Military history== Hedemora town was gathering place for the peasant militia during the Swedish War of Liberation against Denmark. In the victorious Battle of Brunnbäck Ferry in 1521, Peder Svensson from the village of''Vibberboda'' in present day Hedemora Municipality was one of the two leaders (the other was Olof Bonde from Norrbärke in today's Smedjebacken Municipality).

During the allotment system, the Colonel's Company of Dalarna Regiment had its recruitment area in Hedemora and Husby parishes. The colonels of the regiment had their seat at Husby during this period at ''Näs kungsgård'' and ''Husby kungsgård''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dalregementetsmuseer.se/ |title= Dalregementet|publisher = Dalregementets Museer |access-date=December 1, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://kmb.raa.se/cocoon/bild/show-image.html?id=16001000046004|title= Husby Kungsgård|publisher = Riksantikvarieämbetet|access-date=December 1, 2018}}</ref>
