Until 1 January 2007, '''Brande municipality''' was a municipality (Danish, ''[[Commune (subnational entity)|kommune]]'') in [[Ringkjøbing County|Ringkøbing]] on the [[Jutland]] peninsula in west Denmark.  The municipality covered an area of 188&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, and had a total population of 8,822 (2005). Its last mayor was Preben Christensen. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of [[Brande]].

The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a {{lang|da|kommunalreform}} ("Municipality Reform") that Blåhøj and Brande [[parish]]es.

Brande municipality ceased to exist as the result of [[Municipalities of Denmark#Municipal Reform 2007|''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007)]]. It was merged with [[Ikast municipality|Ikast]] and [[Nørre-Snede municipality|Nørre-Snede]] municipalities to form the new [[Ikast-Brande municipality]].  This created a municipality with an area of 768&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and a total population of 39,371 (2005). The new municipality belongs to the [[Region Midtjylland]] ("Mid-Jutland Region").
