It belongs to Region of Southern Denmark, covers an area of 134.46 km2, and has a total population of 49,463 (2008). The Mayor is Steen Wrist, representing the Social Democrats political party.

The municipality's main town and the site of its municipal council is the city of Fredericia.

Neighboring municipalities are Vejle to the north, Kolding to the west, and Middelfart to the east, albeit separated from the municipality by the waters of the Lillebælt, the strait, that separates the Jutland mainland from the island of Funen in this area, where the two lie very close to each other, often less than 1.5 km apart.
