Södertälje Municipality (Södertälje kommun) is a municipality in Stockholm County in east central Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Södertälje.

It borders to Lake Mälaren in the north and the Baltic Sea in the south, and to Nykvarn Municipality and Salem Municipality. Of the total population, close to 20,000 are Assyrian immigrants arriving in this area since the late 1960s.

The municipality was created 1967-1971 through the amalgamation of the former City of Södertälje with large rural and suburban areas surrounding it. In 1999 it was split when a new entity, Nykvarn Municipality, was detached from Södertälje Municipality.
