Kungsbacka (Swedish pronunciation: [kɵŋsˈbaˈka] ) is a locality and the seat of Kungsbacka Municipality in Halland County, Sweden, with 19,057 inhabitants in 2010.[1] It is a part of Greater Gothenburg Metropolitan Area.

It is one of the most affluent parts of Sweden, in part due to its simultaneous proximity to the countryside and the large city of Gothenburg.[citation needed] Its mayor since 2020 is Lisa Andersson.
