Tuao, officially the Municipality of Tuao (; ; ), is a municipality in the province of Cagayan, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people.
==Etymology== When the early Spanish missionaries were busy laying the foundation of a church late in the 16th century at a site about six kilometers from the present town of Tuao, a big bird came circling over them and then alighted on the wooden cross erected to mark the place where the cornerstone was laid. It flapped its wings noisily, onomatopoetically sounding like "battuao, battuao, battuao" and then flew away.
