Ragunda Municipality (Ragunda kommun) is a municipality in Jämtland County, in the middle of Sweden. The municipal seat is located in Hammarstrand.
The present municipality was formed in 1974, when "old" Ragunda was almalgamated with Fors and Stugun. Further amalgamations have been discussed due to declining population, but not been carried out.
Ragunda is known for being the site of the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Building, which is located by the village Utanede. Designed as a Thai royal pavilion, the only one of its kind outside Thailand, it was raised in 1997 in commemoration of King Chulalongkorn's visit there a century earlier.
