Until January 1, 2007 Slagelse Municipality was a municipality (Danish: kommune) in the former West Zealand County, on the southwestern coast of the island of Zealand, in eastern Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 192.00 km2, and had a total population of 37,141 (2006). Its last mayor was Lis Tribler, a member of the Social Democrats.
Slagelse Municipality bordered Korsør Municipality and Hashøj Municipality to the south and Sorø Municipality to the east. To the north, the municipality bordered Dianalund Municipality, Høng Municipality and Gørlev Municipality. To the west it bordered the Great Belt.
The municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen 2007 (the Municipality Reform of 2007). It was merged with Hashøj, Korsør and Skælskør municipalities to form a new Slagelse municipality. The new municipality belongs to Region Zealand.
