Until 1 January 2007, Grindsted municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Ribe County on the Jutland Peninsula in south-west Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 382 km², and had a total population of 17,379 (2005).

Its latest mayor was Ib Kristensen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The site of its municipal council was the town of Grindsted. The municipality's motto was "Grindsted - Vi har det hele" which means "Grindsted - We have it all".

The town of Grindsted has good schools and good educational possibilities, and a well-built infrastructure for cars and pedestrians. The municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged into the existing Billund municipality.
