Cabucgayan (IPA: [kɐbʊk'gaɪɐn]), officially the Municipality of Cabucgayan (; ; ), is a municipality in the province of Biliran, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 21,923 people. The town's populace predominantly speaks Waray.
==History== Cabucgayan derived its name from the snail called bukgay. In the Waray-Waray language, to make a singular noun into a plural noun, the article ka is added before the word and the article an after the word. Kabukgayan, therefore, means a place where there are many snails.
