Until January 1, 2007 Fjerritslev Municipality was a municipality (Danish: kommune) in the former North Jutland County, on the North Jutlandic Island, bordering the Limfjord to the south and North Sea to the north. The municipality covered an area of 289.65 km2, and had a total population of 8,397 (2006). Its last mayor was Otto Kjær Larsen, a member of the Venstre political party.

Fjerritslev Municipality bordered Brovst Municipality to the east, Løgstør Municipality to the south and the municipalities of Thisted and Hanstholm Municipality to the west.

The municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen 2007 (the Municipality Reform of 2007). It was merged with the Aabybro, Pandrup and Brovst municipalities to form the new Jammerbugt municipality. The new municipality belongs to the North Jutland Region.
