Hallstahammar Municipality (Swedish:Hallstahammars kommun) is amunicipality inVästmanland County in centralSweden. Its seat is located in the town ofHallstahammar.
In 1971 "old" Hallstahammar (with the status of aköping since 1943) was amalgamated with parts of the dissolvedKolbäck rural municipality to form the present municipality of unitary type.
