'''Solrød Municipality''' ({{langx|da|Solrød Kommune}}) is a ''[[municipalities of Denmark|kommune]]'' in the [[Region Sjælland]] on the east coast of the island of [[Zealand (Denmark)|Zealand]] in east [[Denmark]].  The municipality covers an area of 40&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, and has a total [[population]] of 24,732 (2025).  Its mayor is Emil Blücher<!-- this is not a misspelling, see the official webpage. -->, a member of the [[Liberal Alliance (Denmark)|Liberal Alliance]] [[Politics of Denmark|political party]]. The municipal seat is [[Solrød Strand]].

==Overview==
Most of the population lives in an urbanized belt between the coast of [[Køge Bay]] and the E47 motorway, developed in the 1970s. The northern part of the belt is ''Solrød Stand''; this is the site of the municipal council. The southern part is ''[[Jersie Strand]]''.
The coastal belt is connected by [[S-train]] to central [[Copenhagen]] to the north, and to the city of [[Køge]] to the south, with stations at {{rws|Solrød Strand}} and {{rws|Jersie}} Strand.

Further inland lies fertile farmland, dotted with the old villages of [[Karlstrup]], ''Solrød'', ''Jersie'', ''Kirke Skensved'', and ''Gammel Havdrup''. The town of [[Havdrup]] has a [[Havdrup railway station|station]] on the [[Little South Line|Little South railway line]] between [[Roskilde]] and [[Køge]].

Neighboring municipalities are [[Greve Municipality|Greve]] to the north, [[Roskilde Municipality|Roskilde]] to the west, and [[Køge Municipality|Køge]] to the south.  To the east is Køge Bay (''Køge Bugt'').

There are popular [[beach]]es along the Køge Bay coast, and the municipality is a popular summer house area.  The area attracts both local day visitors and summer vacationers who are interested in boating, beaches and sunshine.

==History==
