Northern Sami: Muoná) is a municipality of Finland
.

Lappi (Lapland) province.[1] The municipality has a population of Template:Infobox Finnish municipality/population count (Error: Invalid time.)[2] and covers an area of [convert: invalid number] of which [convert: invalid number] is water.[3] The population density is [convert: invalid number]. The next closest Finnish municipalities are Enontekiö, Kittilä, and Kolari; and to the west is Sweden's Pajala
. On the south side of town, a road bridge crosses the
Muonio River, linking Muonio to northern Norrbotten County, Sweden. Muonio is good base for exploring the many things to do in the area and is on the E8 highway which goes north to Kilpisjärvi
.

Muonio is known as the municipality with the longest snow season in Finland. For that reason its vocational college has a top ski class that attracts aspiring cross-country ski champions from all over Finland.

The municipality is unilingually Finnish, unlike many towns on the Finland-Sweden border.
