Libungan, officially the Municipality of Libungan , is a municipality in the province of Cotabato, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 56,269 people.

==Etymology== Libungan was known by various names by its early settlers. The Manobo settlers of the area initially called the area as "Dasdas" which means "road down by the river". "Libungan" is used to refer to the river located in the area by the Manobo which means "cheater." During the earlier settling period, the Libungan River changed its course which adversely affected the crops which led the settlers to believe that the river was "cheating" them; the area from then on was referred to as Libungan. "Tubak" is one of the earlier names used to refer to the place which means "eroding river".
