Cihuatlán is a coastal municipality in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Its main city is also named Cihuatlán.
==Etymology== The word Cihuatlán is compounded of two words of Nahuatl origin, a language spoken in central Mexico since the seventh century AD and the language of the Aztecs: Zihua, woman, and Tlán place; therefore in Cihuatlán means place of women.
