Härryda Municipality, Municipality in Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Härryda Municipality covers forested land in western Västergötland, with Mölndalsån flowing east to west through Västra Nedsjön, Landvettersjön and Rådasjön. Its seat is Mölnlycke, home to about 19,000 people, and the municipality also includes Landvetter, Hindås, Rävlanda, Härryda, Hällingsjö and Stora Bugärde. Göteborg Landvetter Airport, Sweden's second-largest, lies near the locality of Härryda.
Härryda was formed in 1971 when three separate municipalities—Björketorp, Landvetter, and Råda—were merged together. This administrative consolidation was part of a broader municipal restructuring that took place across Sweden during that period.
The municipality organizes regular seasonal events and maintains public libraries across different localities to support community engagement and educational initiatives.
Road traffic runs east-west on national roads 27 and 40, and the Kust till kust line carries Västtågen regional trains with stops at Mölnlycke, Hindås and Rävlanda. Göteborg Landvetter Airport, Sweden's second-largest, lies within the municipality. Helenedal in the west belongs to the Gothenburg urban area, and Mölndalsån passes Västra Nedsjön, Landvettersjön and Rådasjön.
Until 2007, Härryda stood as the single municipality in Sweden operating without an official coat of arms, using only a logo for identification.
