Ljusnarsberg Municipality (Ljusnarsbergs kommun) is a municipality in Örebro County in central Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Kopparberg.

In 1908 Kopparberg was detached from the rural municipality Ljusnarsberg to form a market town (köping). In 1962 they were reunited.

It was the birthplace of Hjalmar Andersson, A cross country runner

Geography

Kopparberg is located by the outlet of the Arboga River, about 80 km north of Örebro. The municipality borders the province or landskap Dalarna to the north. One of the highest points is the mountain Gillersklack which is a popular winter resort with both downhill and cross country skiing. Ljusnarsberg lies in a mountainous mid-lower-central district of Sweden named Bergslagen (Berg = mountain, lag = law). While Swedish municipalities typically are named after their seat, Ljusnarsberg got a different name due to Dalarna County to its north being known as Kopparberg County after a Falun copper mine until 1997.

The area has historically been a mining district.
