'''Råde''' is a [[Municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in [[Østfold]] [[Counties of Norway|county]], [[Norway]].  The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of [[Karlshus]].  The [[parish]] of ''Raade'' was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838.

The neighbouring municipalities are [[Våler, Østfold|Våler]], [[Moss, Norway|Moss]], [[Sarpsborg]], and [[Fredrikstad]]. There are four major villages in the municipality: [[Karlshus]], [[Saltnes]], [[Missingmyr]], and [[Slangsvold]].

== General information ==
=== Name ===
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old ''Råde'' farm ([[Old Norse]]: ''Róða''), since the first church was built. The name is identical with the word ''róða'' which means "bar, pole, or rod". Here it is referring to one of Norway's many [[terminal moraine]]s, and the farm and the church named after it.  Prior to 1921, the name was written ''"Raade"''.

==History==
Traces of settlements from 3000 BC have been located at [[Vansjø]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://snl.no/R%C3%A5de |title=Råde – Store norske leksikon |publisher=Snl.no |date= |accessdate=2022-08-13}}</ref>

=== Coat-of-arms ===
The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times.  They were granted on 30 May 1980. The arms are [[canting arms|canting]] for the name of the municipality.  It shows a yellow [[bend (heraldry)|bend]] on a green background. The arms thus symbolise the moraine and glacial path from the [[Ice age]]s that runs through the municipality. The colour green symbolises the fertile soil.<ref>{{cite web|author=Norske Kommunevåpen|year=1990|title=Nye kommunevåbener i Norden|url=http://www.ngw.nl/int/nor/r/rade.htm|access-date=2008-12-15}}</ref>
