Eda Municipality ("Eda kommun") is a municipality in Värmland County in west central Sweden, on the Norwegian border. Its seat is located in the town of Charlottenberg.

The municipal reform of 1971 saw the forming of the present municipality through the amalgamation of "old" Eda with Köla and Järnskog.

The perhaps most notable sight is the Eda Fortlet, which was in use from 1650 to 1814. It was the largest fortress in the province of Värmland, with the purpose of defending against Norwegian troops. It was made obsolete with the Union between Sweden and Norway in 1814.
