Muurame is a municipality of Finland, located south-west of Jyväskylä, the regional capital of Central Finland. Muurame itself is located between two lakes, Lake Päijänne and Lake Muuratjärvi. These two lakes are connected to each other via River Muurame. Altogether there are 37 lakes in Muurame. The biggest lakes beside Päijänne are Muuratjärvi and Lake Kuusjärvi. River Muurame streams through the population center of Muurame, which was founded in 1921.
Today Muurame shares a land border only with Jyväskylä. Before 2009, its neighboring municipalities were, in addition to Jyväskylä, the Rural Municipality of Jyväskylä and Korpilahti, and before 1993 also Säynätsalo. Säynätsalo was consolidated with the city of Jyväskylä in 1993, and the Rural Municipality of Jyväskylä and Korpilahti in 2009. Muurame still shares a water boundary not only with Jyväskylä but also with Toivakka.
