Osby Municipality (Swedish: Osby kommun) is a municipality in Scania County in Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Osby.
The amalgamation during the 1970s' local government reform took place in the area on 1 January 1974, when the former market town Osby (itself instituted as such in 1937) was merged with three adjacent rural municipalities.
