Galimuyod, officially the Municipality of Galimuyod (Ilocano: Ili ti Galimuyod; Filipino: Bayan ng Galimuyod), is a municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 10,244 people.^[3]

Galimuyod is 63 kilometres (39 mi) from Vigan City and 348 kilometres (216 mi) from Manila.

This town, formerly known as Cabisilan, was once the biggest barrio of Candon during the Spanish Regime. A land dispute between them and residents of neighboring Sapang, another barrio of Candon, resulted in a "gin-nuyod" (Ilocano for "tug-of-war") contest, a common game during those days, to settle it. The people of Cabisilan won over the people of Sapang, making Cabisilan the center of barrios near it. The old folks renamed the barrio Galimuyod, from the Ilocano words tali ("rope") and ginuyod ("pulled").

Galimuyod is politically subdivided into 24 barangays. ^[5] Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

In the 2020 census, Galimuyod had a population of 10,244.^[3] The population density was 300 inhabitants per square kilometre (780/sq mi).

Galimuyod, belonging to the second congressional district of the province of Ilocos Sur, is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code. The mayor, vice mayor, and the councilors are elected directly by the people through an election which is being held every three years.
