Sorsele Municipality (Swedish: Sorsele kommun, Ume Sami: Suorsán kommuvdna; Southern Sami: Suarsan tjïelte) is a municipality in Västerbotten County in northern Sweden.

The name appears to stem from the Sami word sourge, which means branch, and sel, which is of Swedish origin and refers to a kind of stream.

This refers to the protected Vindel River (Swedish: Vindelälven), which flows through the town and municipality of Sorsele.

Geography wise, around half of the municipal area is part of the Vindelfjällens Nature Reserve.
