Stenungsund Municipality, Coastal municipality in Västra Götaland County, Sweden

The municipality spans over 301 square kilometers along the western Swedish coast, bordered by the islands of Orust and Tjörn and the European route E6.

Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed Iron Age burial grounds from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD, containing preserved Roman ceramic artifacts within the municipal boundaries.

Local sports organizations including Stenungsunds IF, Stenungsund HF, and Stenungsunds FC foster community engagement through various athletic competitions and events throughout the year.

The municipality maintains three railway stations along the Bohus Line at Stora Höga, Stenungsund, and Svenshögen, providing regular connections for residents and visitors.

The municipal coat of arms, registered in 1977, displays a hydrocarbon molecule design that represents the region's status as Sweden's largest chemical industry cluster.
