KungÀlv Municipality (KungÀlvs kommun) is a municipality in VÀstra Götaland County in western Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of KungÀlv.
The present municipality was formed in 1971 through the amalgamation of the City of KungÀlv, the City of Marstrand and territories belonging to four rural municipalities. In 1974 a minor part (situated on the island of Hisingen) was transferred to Gothenburg Municipality.
Geographically it borders to Gothenburg Municipality (south), Ale Municipality (east), Lilla Edet Municipality (north-east) and Stenungsund Municipality (north). To the east flows the river Göta Àlv and to the south, marking the border to Gothenburg, flows the river Nordre Àlv. On an island in the river, the Bohus Fortress (one of Sweden's finest fortresses) faces the city of KungÀlv.
