Vaxholm Municipality (Vaxholms kommun) is a municipality within Stockholm archipelago in central Sweden. The municipal slogan is "Vaxholm – the capital of the archipelago", due to its central locatation in the archipelago. The seat is located in the town Vaxholm.
Vaxholm was in the period 1974-1984 united with Österåker, making up a municipality called Vaxholm, but with the seat in Åkersberga. After the "divorce" the new Vaxholm Municipality came out larger than it had been before the amalgamation. The municipality prefers to style itself City of Vaxholm.
64 islets are in the municipality, and also a part of the Bogesundslandet mainland.
