'''Ale Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Ale kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Västra Götaland County]] in western [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in the town of [[Nödinge-Nol]], more precisely in Alafors at {{coord|57|55|33|N|12|5|1|E|region:SE_type:adm2nd|display=inline}}

Ale Municipality was created in 1974, when the former municipalities of Nödinge, Skepplanda and Starrkärr were amalgamated. The new entity got its name from the old [[Ale Hundred]], which had approximately the same territory.

It built one of the first indoor [[bandy]] arenas in Sweden (and subsequently in the world), which was the first in [[Götaland]], located in Bohuslän.
