Örkelljunga Municipality, Rural municipality in Skåne County, Sweden

Örkelljunga Municipality is a municipality in Skåne County in southern Sweden, on the border with Halland and Småland. Its seat is Örkelljunga, and the terrain is hilly and forested, with lakes and bogs such as Flåssmyr and Stensmyr in the northwest. The bedrock is mostly gneiss covered by nutrient-poor moraine, and coniferous forest dominates, with patches of beech woodland in the south.

The current municipal structure formed in 1971 when the original Örkelljunga area merged with neighboring Skånes-Fagerhult to create a single administrative entity. This consolidation defined the region's modern organization and has remained the framework since then.

The municipal coat of arms shows a silver church bell above wavy lines, taken from a legend that a bell sank in Prästsjön and can still be heard from the depths. East of Hjälmsjön lie two fossil fields with about twenty clearance cairns, and east of Fagerhultasjön are traces of settlements and a farmstead.

Bus services regularly connect the municipality with larger regional centers and towns. Most locations are easily accessible, and the city of Helsingborg is within a short drive from here.

The local volleyball team, Örkelljunga Volleybollklubb, has achieved multiple national championships and maintains competitive presence at high levels. This sporting success from a rural municipality's club is notable for the region.
