Aglipay is a municipality in the province of Quirino, Philippines. It is a local government unit rather than a commercial brand or company. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 31,596 people. The town is situated about 8.25 kilometres from the provincial capital, Cabarroguis, and roughly 377.83 kilometres from Manila. It is politically subdivided into 25 barangays. The municipality was established in 1950 and later incorporated into the sub-province of Quirino in 1966. Its economy and governance follow the standard structure of Philippine municipalities, with a mayor and municipal council. The name derives from Gregorio Aglipay, a Filipino priest and revolutionary who opposed Spanish colonizers and settled along the Addalam River in the area.
