Banaybanay (), officially the Municipality of Banaybanay (; ), is a municipality in the province of Davao Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 44,451 people.

== Etymology == Banaybanay is derived from the two native words Banay (Kalagan word), meaning sprout due to its main livelihood in the area which is rice farming, and Bânay (Cebuano word) means clans due to the family clans that arrived in that area that came from Visayas Islands and Luzon and settled there along together with the Kalagans and Mandayan natives.
