'''Ragunda Municipality''' ({{Langx|sv|Ragunda kommun}}; {{IPA|sv|ˈrɑ̂ːˌɡɵnːda|}})<ref>{{cite book|url=https://runeberg.org/ortnamn/0023.html|author1=Jöran Sahlgren|author2=Gösta Bergman|title=Svenska ortnamn med uttalsuppgifter|language=sv|year=1979|page=19}}</ref> is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Jämtland County]] in northern [[Sweden]]. Its [[administrative centre|seat]] is in [[Hammarstrand]].

The present municipality was formed in 1974, when "old" Ragunda Municipality was amalgamated with the municipalities of Fors and Stugun. Further amalgamations have been discussed due to declining population but have not been carried out.

Ragunda Municipality is known for being the site of the [[King Chulalongkorn Memorial Building]], which is by the village Utanede. Designed as a [[Thailand|Thai]] royal [[pavilion]], the only one of its kind outside Thailand, it was raised in 1997 in commemoration of King [[Chulalongkorn]]'s visit there a century earlier.

[[Döda fallet]] (''The dead waterfall'') is an extinct [[whitewater]] [[Rapids|rapid]] in a [[nature reserve]] and one of the major tourist attractions of the municipality.
