Munkfors Municipality (Munkfors kommun) is a municipality in Värmland County in west central Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Munkfors.
In 1952 the rural municipality Ransäter got the title of a market town (köping) and the name Munkfors after its only built-up locality. With the local government reform of 1971 it became a municipality of unitary type without addition of territory. The municipality is today the 9th smallest by population in Sweden.
In Ransäter lies the Geijer School, in honour of author Erik Gustaf Geijer (1783-1843), who was born at the Ransäter farm. A second notable Ransäter native was Tage Erlander (1901-1985), who was Prime Minister of Sweden 1946-1969.
The municipality has one sister city: Lindsborg, Kansas, U.S.A.
