Baggao, officially the Municipality of Baggao (; ; ), is a municipality in the province of Cagayan, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people.
==Etymology== The name Baggao is derived from the Ibanag word which means washing in the English language. Old folks recount that the Ibanags who frequently hunted in the locality, used to wash their catch before taking them home in a big mud hole which they called Abbagaoan, an Ibanag word which refers to a place to wash. Eventually, the area became a noted landmark for hunters from which the name of the municipality was derived.
