Until January 1, 2007 Ry municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in the former Aarhus County on the Jutland peninsula in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 152,44 km2, and had a total population of 11.244 (2005). Its last mayor was Jonna Grønver, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Ry.

The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a ("Municipality Reform") that merged a number of existing parishes:

  • Alling Parish
  • Dover Parish
  • Gammel Rye Parish
  • Låsby Parish
  • RyParish
  • Tulstrup Parish

Ry municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Galten, Hørning, and Skanderborg municipalities to form the new Skanderborg municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 416 km2 and a total population of 49,469 (2005).
