Liloan, officially the Municipality of Liloan (; ), is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 158,387 people, making it the most populated municipality in Cebu and the whole Visayas.
==History== Along its coastline, there is a spot called Silot, where a whirlpool is created by the ebbs and flows of the waters from the bay. This phenomenon is called lilo in Cebuano. Because of this, the town was known as Liloan, meaning "a place where there is a lilo".
