Vallentuna Municipality is a Swedish municipality in Stockholm County, in central Sweden. Of the municipal population, 24,000 live in the town Vallentuna. The town has an ancient history and Vallentuna is an Old Swedish word. It later came to form the Vallentuna Hundred.

The current municipality was established as a result of the municipal reform in 1971. Its coat of arms depict an eagle, a broad axe and two stars.

The geography is still dominated by nature and agriculture and some lakes and streams, besides the urban areas. Many houses are one family houses.

Vallentuna has been expanding in recent years, and is one of the municipalities of the county that grows fastest every year, with more than 2% yearly, and has now doubled since 1971. Many people settle in Vallentuna because it is close to nature, and yet allows then to commute to their work places, both in Stockholm City (to where the commuter gets you in 30 minutes) and elsewhere. In total, about 9,000 people commute from Vallentuna to other municipalities, while about 2,000 people commute into Vallentuna.
