Pinamungajan, officially the Municipality of Pinamungajan (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Pinamungajan; Tagalog: Bayan ng Pinamungajan), is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 75,131 people.
The town patroness is Saint Monica, mother of one of the fathers and doctors of the Catholic Church, Saint Augustine of Hippo. However, instead of August 27, Pinamungajan celebrates the memorial of the saint on May 4. In 2008, in response to the call of then governor and now Congresswoman Gwendolyn Garcia for each Cebu town and city to hold a festival as part of local culture and heritage, Pinamungajan began the Pinamuohan Festival in honor of Saint Monica on her memorial.
