Aalestrup Municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Viborg County, Denmark which existed from 1970 until it ceased to exist as a result of the Municipal reform of 2007. Today the region is part of Vesthimmerland Municipality in the North Jutland Region.
The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Aalestrup. The municipality was located on the eastern shores of the area known as Himmerland, a part of the Jutland peninsula; the western border of the municipality was partially defined by the waters of Lovn's Broadening (Lovns Bredning).
