Tandubas, officially the Municipality of Tandubas (), is a municipality in the province of Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 34,316 people.
==Etymology== The word Tandubas coined from two Malay words Tanjung Bas. Tanjung means “place”, while the word Bas means “Landing”. Therefore, Tandubas means a place of landing, referring to a group of Malaysian traders who sailed across many islands and landed on an island what is now Tandubas Island. Seeing the abundance of resources to sustain their living, this group of Malaysian traders finally decided to settle on that island and named it as Tanjung Bas.
