Markaryd Municipality is a Municipality in south-west Kronoberg County, in southern Sweden where the town Markaryd is seat.
The nature is mainly dominated by forests, as usually in Smalandia, but there are also significant agricultural areas. Stretching from the northern to the southern parts are the River Lagan, making up the foundation of the water system with opportunities to fishing, canoeing and camping. There are also specific areas created for walks in forest and wildlife nature, and just east of the town is a possiblity for moose safari, arranged by Smalandet.
The E4 highway goes just by the town of Markaryd and also the other town Strömsnäsbruk.
