Smedjebacken Municipality ("Smedjebackens kommun") is a municipality in Dalarna County in central Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Smedjebacken.

The present municipality was formed in two steps during the last nation-wide local government reform in Sweden. In 1967 the market town ("köping") Smedjebacken was reunited with "Norrbärke" from which it had been detached in 1918. In 1974 "Söderbärke" was added.

The municipality borders to eight other municipalities.
