Bauko, officially the Municipality of Bauko (; ; ; ; ; ) is a municipality in the province of Mountain Province, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 31,470 people.

== History == === Chico River Dam Project === Bauko was one of several municipalities in Mountain Province which would have been flooded by the Chico River Dam Project during the Marcos dictatorship, alongside Bontoc, Sabangan, Sadanga, Sagada, and parts of Barlig. However, the indigenous peoples of Kalinga Province and Mountain Province resisted the project and when hostilities resulted in the murder of Macli-ing Dulag, the project became unpopular and was abandoned before Marcos was ousted by the 1986 People Power Revolution.
