'''Hillerød Municipality''' ({{langx|da|Hillerød Kommune}}) is a municipality ([[Danish language|Danish]], ''[[Commune (subnational entity)|kommune]]'') in the [[Capital Region of Denmark]]. The municipality covers an area of 212.99&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> (82.24 sq. miles), and has a total population of 54,855 (1. January 2025).  The mayor of the municipality as of 1 January 2018 is Kirsten Jensen, a member of the [[Social Democrats (Denmark)|Social Democratic]] [[Politics of Denmark|political party]].

==Overview==
The main town and the site of its municipal council is the town also named as Hillerød. The [[Hillerød|city of Hillerød]] also houses the administrative capital of Region Hovedstaden.

Neighboring municipalities are [[Fredensborg municipality]] to the east, [[Gribskov municipality]] to the north, [[Frederiksværk-Hundested municipality]] to the west, and [[Frederikssund]] and [[Allerød municipality|Allerød]] to the south.

On 1 January 2007, Hillerød municipality was merged with [[Skævinge]] municipality and ''Uvelse valgdistrikt'' of former [[Slangerup]] municipality as the result of [[Municipalities of Denmark#Municipal Reform 2007|''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007)]], forming the new Hillerød municipality.  At the same time, it became part of the capital of Region Hovedstaden, a new region that includes the Danish capital of [[Copenhagen]], about 25&nbsp;km to the southeast.

[[Arresø]], the largest lake in [[Denmark]], lies partly in the municipality.
