Jelgava Municipality (Latvian: Jelgavas novads) is a municipality in Zemgale, Latvia. Its administrative center is Jelgava, although it is extraterritorial as the city is a separate municipality of its own.

The municipality was formed in 2009 from Jelgava District by merging Eleja Parish, Glūda Parish, Jaunsvirlauka Parish, Lielplatone Parish, Līvbērze Parish, Platone Parish, Sesava Parish, Svēte Parish, Valgunde Parish, Vilce Parish, Vircava Parish, Zaļenieki Parish and Kalnciems town with its rural territory. As of 2020, the population was 21,738.[3]

On 1 July 2021, Jelgava Municipality was enlarged when Ozolnieki Municipality and its parishes were merged into it during the Latvian administrative reform of 2021. It borders Lithuania.
