San Jose, officially the Municipality of San Jose, is a 5th class municipality in the province of Romblon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 11,759 people.[3]

It is also known as Carabao Island, or Hambil Island, the southernmost island of the province.

Throughout much of its Spanish and American colonial history, the island repeatedly changed hands between the political jurisdictions of Romblon and Capiz provinces, before becoming a separate municipality of Romblon in 1969. The majority of the town's inhabitants speak Onhan, a Western Visayan language also spoken in some parts of Aklan in Panay Island. San Jose is located near the resort island of Boracay.
