Aizkraukle Municipality (Latvian: Aizkraukles novads) is a municipality in Vidzeme, Latvia. Its center is the town of Aizkraukle. The municipality was first formed in 2001 by merging Aizkraukle and Aizkraukle Parish. The population in 2020 was 8,024.[3]
As a part of the 2021 Latvian administrative reform, the municipalities of Aizkraukle, Jaunjelgava, Koknese, Nereta, Pļaviņas and Skrīveri were merged into a new Aizkraukle Municipality. The new municipality encompasses nearly all of the area of the former Aizkraukle district, with the omission of Kurmene Parish and Valle Parish. It borders Lithuania and is partially located both in Vidzeme and Selonia.
