Älmhult Municipality (Template:Langx) is a municipality in central Kronoberg County in southern Sweden. The town of Älmhult is its seat.
In 1901, Älmhult was detached from Stenbrohult and made a market town (köping). The present municipality was created by the local government reform of 1971, when Älmhult was amalgamated with the surrounding rural municipalities.
Of historical significance is that the botanist Carl von Linné was born and grew up in the parish of Stenbrohult in the early 18th century. Today, the estate on which he was born and lived his first months has been turned into a museum at Råshult and is still surrounded by the same meadows and fields as 300 years ago.
Allegedly, the area has a variety of different specimens of plants, likely to trigger the interest of a botanical minded youngster. The geography is probably not distinguished from its neighbouring municipalities, however. Like all other Småland municipalities, it contains a variety of lakes, streams and especially forests.
The first IKEA store was opened in Älmhult by Ingvar Kamprad, who grew up in the municipality.
