Lupon (), officially the Municipality of Lupon (; ), is a municipality in the province of Davao Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 66,979 people.
Lupon is said to have derived its name from the native word "naluponan", meaning a body of land accumulated at the mouth of a river resulting from years of continued accretion. The settlers shortened the word to "Lupon". This "naluponan" area was then applied to the mouth of the Sumlug river of Lupon municipality of today.
