Muuruvesi is a village and a former municipality of Finland at the time of its existence in the Kuopio Province, now in Northern Savonia.

The municipality bordered Juankoski, Säyneinen, Nilsiä, Kaavi, Tuusniemi, Riistavesi and Siilinjärvi.

As Nilsiä became a chapel community under Kuopio in 1769, Muuruvesi became a part of it.

A division of the Nilsiä parish was ordered in 1899, splitting Muuruvesi and Varpaisjärvi from it, however Muuruvesi only became a functional parish in 1900 and started producing its own church registers in 1908.
