Borås Municipality (Borås kommun or Borås stad) is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in western Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Borås.
In 1971 the City of Borås was made a municipality (kommun) when the unitary type of local government unit was introduced in Sweden. Three years later a lot of surrounding municipalities were amalgamated with Borås. In 1995 the western part was split off, creating Bollebygd Municipality.
In the 1990s the municipal council (kommunfullmäktige) decided to use the name Borås stad or City of Borås whenever possible, for the whole municipality including rural areas. This decision is purely nominal and has no effect on the legal status of the municipality.
