'''Orsa Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Orsa kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Dalarna County]] in central [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in the town of [[Orsa, Sweden|Orsa]].

Orsa is one of a few municipalities in Sweden which has not been amalgamated, but retains its area from the time it was instituted as a municipal entity in 1863.

== Geography ==
The town of Orsa is located on the north-eastern shore of the {{Convert|53|km2}} large [[Lake Orsa]] (''Orsasjön''). Through a southern water passage it is connected with one of Sweden's largest lakes: [[Siljan (lake)|Siljan]].

By the shores of Orsasjön the Orsa Camping was inaugurated in 1932. With a kilometer long sandy beach, it has received several awards for its quality and beauty, and is by some referred to as the ''Dalarna Riviera''.

Nature sights include the ''Grönklitt'' mountain, that previously housed a notable [[bear]] park and [[skiing]] hill. The bear park was an enclosed area where not only bears but also [[Gray wolf|wolves]], [[lynx]], [[siberian tiger]]s and [[wolverine]]s reside, and was the biggest bear park in northern Europe.
