Muttenz is a municipality in the district of Arlesheim in the canton of Basel-Landschaft in Switzerland, next to the city of Basel. It is first mentioned around 1225 and 1226 as Muttence. In 1306 the village passed to the Munch of Munchenstein, who fortified the village church of St. Arbogast with a rampart in the early fifteenth century, and the village was sold to the city of Basel in 1517. The fortified church, whose ramparts still stand, is a Swiss heritage site of national significance, as is the medieval village core. The municipality has an area of about 16.64 square kilometres and a population of 17,938 at the end of 2020.
