Until January 1, 2007 Tranekær Municipality was a municipality (Danish: kommune) in the former Funen County, on the northern parts of the island of Langeland. It also included the island of Siø. The municipality covered an area of 107.45 km2, and had a total population of 3,439 (2006). Its last mayor was Jørgen Nielsen, a member of the Venstres political party.

Tranekær Municipality bordered Rudkøbing Municipality to the south and east, and connected to Svendborg Municipality from Siø through the Siøsund Bridge.

The municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen 2007 (the Municipality Reform of 2007). It was merged with the Sydlangeland and Rudkøbing municipalities to form the new Langeland municipality. The new municipality belongs to the Region of Southern Denmark.
