Hedemora is a town in Dalarna County and the seat of Hedemora Municipality, Sweden, with 7,273 inhabitants in 2010.

Despite its small population, Hedemora is for historical reasons normally still referred to as a city, and as such the oldest in the county.

Jonas Nilsson comes from Hedemora, as well as Kerstin Thorborg, Martin Matsbo, Edvin Anger, Bertil Norman and Ulf Stenlund. The diesel engines from Hedemora Diesel can be found in many ships built by Kockums, such as HSwMS Orion, the Collins class submarines in the Royal Australian Navy Submarine Service and the Archer class submarines in the Republic of Singapore Navy.

Hedemora is the home of Clifftop Games, an independent game developer whose published works include Kathy Rain and Whispers of a Machine, and also of Killmonday Games, the independent game developer that produced the games Fran Bow and Little Misfortune.
