Nagcarlan (), officially the Municipality of Nagcarlan (), is a municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people.

==Etymology== According to legend, the name Nagcarlan is derived from Ana Kalang (later baptized as Ana Panalangin), an influential and respected tribal leader. She was known for carrying a golden salakot and a cane which she always carried when walking around town. She was well-respected by the townfolk not just for her wealth, but also for the help she extended to those in need. One account relates that a Spaniard visitor, while at her house, noticed branches outside swaying and striking one another and asked what was happening. Ana Kalang reportedly replied, “nagkakalang sila.” The phrase was subsequently misheard and mispronounced by the Spaniards, eventually evolving into the name Nagcarlan.
