Härryda Municipality (Swedish: Härryda kommun) is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in western Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Mölnlycke, which has about 19,000 inhabitants.
Göteborg Landvetter Airport, Sweden's second-largest airport, is situated near the locality of Härryda, after which the municipality is named. The airport is named after Landvetter, the second-biggest town in the municipality. City Airline has its head office in the Air Cargo Building on the grounds of the airport. When Transwede Airways existed, its head office stood on the airport property.
Proceeding clockwise along the edge of Härryda Municipality, one encounters the borders of the municipalities of Lerum, Bollebygd, Mark, Mölndal, Gothenburg and Partille.
The present municipality was created in 1971 by the amalgamation of the former municipalities of Björketorp, Landvetter and Råda.
Until 19 November 2007 the municipality was the only one in Sweden lacking a coat of arms, using only a logotype.
