Sagbayan, officially the Municipality of Sagbayan (Cebuano: Munisipyo sa Sagbayan; Tagalog: Bayan ng Sagbayan), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 24,335 people.[4]

Its main attraction is Sagbayan Peak, a tourism site overlooking a scenic valley with an observation platform and children's playground.[6] While some similar hill formations are visible, it is not within the main Chocolate Hills area.

Sagbayan celebrates its feast on May 4/August 28, to honor the town patron San Agustin.[7]
