Cabuyao (Tagalog: [kɐbuˈjaʊ]), officially the City of Cabuyao (Filipino: Lungsod ng Cabuyao), is a 1st class component city in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 355,330 people.[10]

It used to be known as the "richest municipality in the Philippines"[7] because of the large populace of migrants working in the town's industrial estates.[12] Nestlé Philippines, Asia Brewery, Inc., San Miguel Corporation, Tanduay Distillers, Inc., Wyeth Philippines, Inc., Procter & Gamble Philippines, Light Industry and Science Park of the Philippines and Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna have established factories or are located in Cabuyao.

By virtue of Republic Act No. 10163,[13] the municipality of Cabuyao was converted to a component city,[14] after the ratification of a plebiscite held on August 4, 2012.[15][16]
