Neumünster (IPA: [nɔʏˈmʏnstɐ]) is one of four independent towns in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The first historic record of the precursor village "Wippendorf" dates from 1127.

Near Neumünster at Ehndorf, there is a medium wave transmission facility for transmitting the program of "Deutschlandfunk", the Ehndorf transmitter, which is often named incorrectly as transmitter Neumünster.

Neumünster is twinned with Gravesend, United Kingdom.
