'''Helsingborg Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Helsingborgs kommun}}) is a [[Municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Scania County]] in [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in the city of [[Helsingborg]], which is Sweden's eighth-largest city. The municipality had a population of 147,734 on 1 January 2019 and the metropolitan area has about 320,000 inhabitants.

Between 1912 and 1971 the name of the town was officially spelled '''Hälsingborg''' (rather like the region of [[Hälsingland]] but unlike neighbouring Danish [[Helsingør]] and the Finnish capital Helsingfors ([[Helsinki]])). The spelling was changed back to the older version when the present municipality was created in 1971 through the amalgamation of the ''Town of Hälsingborg'' with four surrounding rural municipalities. Since the 1990s the municipality again styles itself ''Helsingborgs stad'' (''Town of Helsingborg''). This usage is only nominal and has no effect on the status of the municipality.
