Divilacan [ˌdiviˈlakan], officially the Municipality of Divilacan (Ibanag: Ili nat Divilacan; Ilocano: Ili ti Divilacan; Tagalog/Kasiguranin: Bayan ng Divilacan), is a municipality in the province of Isabela, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 5,871 people.
Divilacan was derived from the native Casiguran Dumagat Agta compound word vilacan, meaning "fish and shell." The word di implies origin. Therefore, Divilacan literally means “where fish and shells abound.”
