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

The present municipality was formed in two steps during the last nationwide local government reform in Sweden. In 1967 the market town (''köping'') Smedjebacken was reunited with ''Norrbärke'' from which it had been detached in 1918. In 1974 ''Söderbärke'' was added.

The municipality borders to eight other municipalities.

The coat of arms depicts a sailing ship and [[cogwheel]]s. These are intended to show the old and new industry sectors of the municipality. It was first granted 1947, but has undergone a few redesigns since. In Smedjebacken there is a skiingclub NSKalpin.com which has a live webcamera from the slope. Also close by is Lernbo where the biggest sportsfishing retailer in Europe has its headquarters.
