'''Vaxholm Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Vaxholms kommun}}, semi-officially {{lang|sv|Vaxholms stad}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Stockholm County]] in east central [[Sweden]]. The municipal [[slogan]] is "Vaxholm &ndash; the capital of the archipelago", due to its central location in the archipelago. Its seat is located in the [[stad (Sweden)|city]] of [[Vaxholm]].

From 1974 to 1984 Vaxholm was united with [[Österåker Municipality]], making up a municipality called Vaxholm, but with the seat in [[Åkersberga]]. After the "divorce" the new Vaxholm Municipality came out larger than it had been before the amalgamation. The municipality prefers to style itself ''City of Vaxholm''.

==Geography==
The municipality is located within the [[Stockholm archipelago]] some {{convert|17|km}} north-east of the [[city of Stockholm]]. It includes the [[Bogesundslandet|Bogesundslandet peninsula]], along with 64 islands and islets. Principal islands include [[Edholma]], [[Edlunda]], [[Granholmen, Vaxholm Municipality|Granholmen]], [[Hästholmen (Skogsön)|Hästholmen]], [[Kullö]], [[Ramsö]], [[Resarö]], [[Rindö]], [[Risholmen, Vaxholm Municipality|Risholmen]], [[Skarpö]], [[Skogsön]], [[Stegesund-Hästholmen]], [[Tynningö]], [[Vaxholmen]] and [[Vaxön]].

The municipality includes five [[Urban areas in Sweden|urban areas or localities]] as defined by [[Statistics Sweden]]. These are [[Resarö]], [[Rindö (locality)|Rindö]], [[Skarpö (locality)|Skarpö]], [[Tynningö]] and [[Vaxholm]]. In 2010, [[Kullö]] was also considered an urban area, but it has now been redefined as part of the Vaxholm urban area.<ref name=ss2020>{{cite web |url=https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/miljo/markanvandning/tatorter/pong/tabell-och-diagram/statistiska-tatorter-2020-befolkning-landareal-befolkningstathet-per-tatort/ |title=Statistiska tätorter 2020, befolkning, landareal, befolkningstäthet per tätort |language=sv |publisher=[[Statistics Sweden]] |access-date=25 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230526110138/https://www.scb.se/Statistik/MI/MI0810/2010A01/Tatorternami0810tab1_4.xls |archive-date=26 May 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=scb>{{cite web |url=http://www.scb.se/Statistik/MI/MI0810/2010A01/Tatorternami0810tab1_4.xls |title=Tätorternas landareal, folkmängd och invånare per km<sup>2</sup> 2005 och 2010 |date=14 December 2011 |publisher=[[Statistics Sweden]] |language=Swedish |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120127055525/http://www.scb.se/Statistik/MI/MI0810/2010A01/Tatorternami0810tab1_4.xls |archive-date=27 January 2012 |url-status=dead |access-date=26 May 2023}}</ref> 

Other, less formally defined, places within the municipality include [[Karlsudd]], {{ill|Rindöby|sv}}, {{ill|Rindö smedja|sv}} and [[Ytterby]]. Ytterby is known for its geology, and for the fact that no less than eight [[chemical element]]s were first discovered there.

==Economy==
The municipality has a significant amount of [[tourism]]. Ships transporting passengers between the islands began running on a daily basis in the 1850s. Today, many of islands (among them the main island Vaxholm) can also be reached by bridges from the mainland. The tourist boats depart from Stockholm's [[Slussen]].
