Vindeln Municipality ("Vindelns kommun") is a Swedish municipality where the small town Vindeln is seat. It is situated in the Västerbotten County, in northern Sweden.

In 1971 a local government reform was implemented in Sweden. This municipality was, however, not amalgamated with any other. But in preparation for the reform the name in 1969 was changed from "Degerfors" to Vindeln. The reason was, that there is another Degerfors Municipality (in Örebro County), and every municipality in Sweden should have a unique name.
