Until 1 January 2007 Munkebo municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in former Funen County on the northeast coast of the island of Funen in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 19 km2, and had a total population of 5,720 (2005). Its last mayor was Palle Hansborg-Sørensen, a member of the Social Democrats (Denmark) (Socialdemokraterne) political party. The main city and the site of its municipal council was the town of Munkebo.

The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a ("Municipality Reform") from Munkebo Parish (Bjerge Herred).
