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

==Etymology== Wawa, which means "river mouth" (Kapampangan: alua or bukana), was the earliest recorded form of the town's name according to records dating back to 1590. The town is strategically located along a river which gave it a vital role in trade and transportation during the precolonial era and turned it into a prosperous settlement, as affirmed by archeological artifacts excavated in a nearby town. Some time after Spanish colonists took control of the town in 1561, it began to be known as Guagua, which is a Hispanized form of the original name.
