'Kerteminde municipality' is a municipality (Danish, ''kommune'') in Region Syddanmark on the northeast coast of the island of Funen in central Denmark. The municipality includes the island of Romsø, and it covers an area of 203 km². It has a total population of 23,071 (2005). Its mayor is Palle Hansborg-Sørensen, a member of the Social Democratic Party (''Socialdemokraterne'') political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council is the town of Kerteminde.
The municipality is located on a peninsula, and is therefore surrounded by water on three sides:

★ The Great Belt (''Storebælt''), the strait which separates Funen from the island of Zealand, to the east

★ The Kattegat to the north

★ The Kattegat and Odense Fjord to the west.
A segment of the Great Belt flows through the town of Kerteminde, and helps define part of its western border with neighboring Otterup municipality.
Ferry service connects the municipality to the island of Romsø from the harbour in the town of Kerteminde.
The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a ''kommunalreform'' ("Municipality Reform") that merged a number of existing parishes:

★ Dalby Parish

★ Drigstrup Parish

★ Kerteminde Parish

★ Kølstrup Parish

★ Mesinge Parish

★ Revninge Parish

★ Rynkeby Parish

★ Stubberup Parish

★ Viby Parish
On January 1, 2007 Kerteminde municipality was, as the result of ''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007), merged with existing Munkebo and Langeskov municipalities to form an enlarged Kerteminde municipality.
