Bräcke Municipality ("Bräcke kommun") is a municipality in Jämtland County in the middle of Sweden. Bräcke is the seat and the municipality.

The present municipality was formed in 1974 when "old" Bräcke was amalgamated with "Kälarne" and "Revsund". The three former municipalities had been created in 1952. The number of original entities (as of 1863) were six. Due to the declining population in the area further amalgamations have been proposed, but rejected.

One of the most famous people coming from Bräcke is the former middle distance runner and world record holder Gunder Hägg who was born in the village Albacken outside the town Bräcke.
