Gram municipality ( German grams) was a municipality in Jutland Office ( Northern Schleswig ) in southwest Denmark. It was created in 1970 by merging the three municipalities Fole ( German: Fohl ), Gram ( German: grams) and Højrup ( German: Høirup ).

At the municipal election in November 2005, the previous (and last ) Grammer Mayor Hans Peter Geil was elected to the first administrative head of the new unit.
