Hinunangan, officially the Municipality of Hinunangan (Kabalian: Lungsod san Hinunangan; ; ), is a municipality in the province of Southern Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 30,384 people.
== History == Hinunangan, originally known as Hononganan (meaning "resting place"), has a history dating back to 1521, when Ferdinand Magellan recorded its sighting during his voyage through Leyte Gulf. By 1750, the area had become a midway trading station for Boholano merchants trading in Eastern Leyte. These traders would moor their boats and rest overnight at the mouth of the Das-ay River, where they built a shelter known as a "hononganan" or stopover, which later became the town’s namesake.
