The municipality of Pachuca de Soto, or municipality of Pachuca, is one of the municipalities of the state of Hidalgo, located in east-central Mexico.
The municipal seat is the city of Pachuca de Soto. The municipality of Pachuca is increasingly co-extensive with the metropolitan area of Pachuca, as development has grown to cover over 60% of the geographic open space. That has eliminated much of the municipality's native flora diversity and larger fauna.
