Sindangan, officially the Municipality of Sindangan (; Subanen: Benwa Sindangan; Chavacano: Municipalidad de Sindangan; ), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 103,952 people.

With increasing investor interests, improved infrastructures, and rapid population growth over the last decade, Sindangan is the fastest-growing municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Norte. It is also the second most populous locality after the provincial capital, Dipolog City, and ranks first as the most populous municipality in the entire Zamboanga Peninsula region, followed by the municipalities of Ipil in Zamboanga Sibugay, and Molave in Zamboanga del Sur.

Due to its rapid demographic and economic growth, steps are being taken to convert the status of Sindangan from a municipality to a city in the next coming years. Once approved and ratified, Sindangan will be the third city in Zamboanga del Norte, following the cities of Dipolog and Dapitan.
