Until January 1, 2007 Ullerslev municipality was a municipality (Danish: "kommune") in the former Funen County, on the east coast of the island of Funen, in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 54 km², and had a total population of 5,151 (2005). Its last mayor was Erik Christensen, a member of the "Socialdemokraterne", the Social Democratic Party.

The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Ullerslev.

The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a "kommunalreform" ("Municipality Reform") that merged a number of existing parishes:
* Ellinge Parish

Ullerslev municipality ceased to exist as the result of "Kommunalreformen 2007" (the Municipality Reform of 2007). It was merged with Nyborg and Ørbæk municipalities to form a new Nyborg municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 278 km² and a total population of 31,009 (2005). The new municipality belongs to Region Syddanmark ("South Denmark Region").
