Tabuelan, officially the Municipality of Tabuelan (; ), is a 2nd income class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 29,662 people.

==History== Tabuelan used to be a barangay of Tuburan until the 1950s, and it was also Tuburan's largest barangay at the time. In fact, all of its constituent barangays were once barrios of then Barangay Tabuelan. In 1953, Tabuelan was separated via a Philippine Law from its mother municipality of Tuburan, on the grounds that Barangay Tabuelan is far from the administrative center of Tuburan (Poblacion Tuburan) and hence, it was not able to properly maintain and address the needs of the people in that barangay. Tuburan opposed such partition but when the law was upheld, it humbly gave way and followed the mandate of the law to avoid economic repercussions. Hence, being formally established as a full-fledged municipality in 1953, makes Tabuelan the youngest municipality on Cebu island.
