'''Vindeln Municipality''' ({{Langx|sv|Vindelns kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Västerbotten County]] in northern [[Sweden]]. Its [[administrative centre|seat]] is located in [[Vindeln]].

==History==
In 1971 a local government reform was implemented in Sweden. This municipality was, however, not amalgamated with any other. But in preparation for the reform the name was changed in 1969 from Degerfors Municipality to Vindeln Municipality. The reason was that there is another [[Degerfors Municipality]] (in [[Örebro County]]), and every municipality in Sweden should have a unique name.

==Geography==
The [[Vindel River]], which is the main [[tributary]] of the [[Ume River]], runs through the municipality and has given it its name. The municipality's [[coat of arms]] depicts a [[salmon]], of which there are plenty in the river.
