'''Storuman Municipality''' ({{Langx|sv|Storumans kommun}}; {{langx|sma|Luspie tjïelte}}; {{langx|sju|Lusspie kommuvnna}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Västerbotten County]] in northern [[Sweden]]. Its [[administrative centre|seat]] is located in [[Storuman]].

The [[parish]] Stensele was created as late as 1822. It was, together with the parish Tärna, made into a municipality in 1863. In 1903 Tärna was detached to form a municipality of its own. The local government reform of 1971 saw the reunification of Stensele and Tärnaby municipalities, thus forming Storuman Municipality with the name taken from its largest town.

[[Tärnaby]], a small village in the municipality, has fostered the internationally famous [[alpine skiing|alpine skiers]] [[Ingemar Stenmark]], [[Stig Strand]] and [[Anja Pärson]].

==Geography==
With an area of {{Convert|8,286|km2}}, the municipality has Sweden's ninth largest area, but is sparsely populated with a [[population density]] of less than 1 inhabitant per km<sup>2</sup>.
