Munising is a city on the southern shore of Lake Superior on the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat of Alger County. The city is adjacent to the northwest corner of Munising Township, but is administratively autonomous.

A post office was established as the Munising post office on December 22, 1868. It was renamed as Gogarnville on October 23, 1889, when Julius Gogarn was appointed as postmaster. The office was moved to his farm. He was a German-born American Civil War veteran and first Supervisor of Munising Township. That post office continued until July 15, 1893.

The name Munising is derived from the Ojibway language. 'Munissi' means island. 'Munising' means near the island. Grand Island is located one half mile north in Munising Bay.
