Namayan (Baybayin: Pre-Kudlit: ᜈᜋᜌ or ᜐᜉ (Sapa), Post-Kudlit: ᜈᜋᜌᜈ᜔), also called Sapa,^[6] Maysapan, and sometimes Lamayan,^[7] was an independent indigenous^[2]: 193 polity^[8][9] on the banks of the Pasig River in the Philippines. It is believed to have achieved its peak in 1175,^[10] and to have gone into decline sometime in the 13th century,^[11] although it continued to be inhabited until the arrival of European colonizers in the 1570s.^[2]

Formed by a confederation of barangays,^[1] it was one of several polities on the Pasig River just prior to the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, alongside Tondo, Maynila, and Cainta.^[2][3]

Archeological findings in Santa Ana have produced the oldest evidence of continuous habitation among the Pasig River polities, pre-dating artifacts found within the historical sites of Maynila and Tondo.^{[6][11][Notes 1]}
