Tranås Municipality (Swedish: Tranås kommun) is a municipality in Jönköping County, southern Sweden, where the town Tranås is seat.
The original entity Tranås was detached from the rural municipality Säby as a market town (köping) in 1882 and made a city in 1919. The reunification took place in 1951 when Säby was made a part of Tranås. In 1967 Linderås was amalgamated with the City of Tranås, which in 1971 was made a municipality of unitary type when all differences between rural and urban municipalities were abolished.
Tranås was once well known for its fur industry, but there is almost no such activity today.
