Dumarao, officially the Municipality of Dumarao (Capiznon/Hiligaynon: Banwa sang Dumarao; Tagalog: Bayan ng Dumarao), is a municipality in the province of Capiz, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 51,633 people.

It was founded in 1581 and established by Spaniards under the advocacy of Our Lady of Snows.

Dumarao traces its earliest roots to Malay settlers who arrived by balangay and moved inland in search of fertile land. They first lived near the meeting point of the Badbaran and Panay rivers, relying on local forests and waterways for food and transport, before clearing the present town center.

During the revolution, local residents became involved after General Quintin Salas passed through in 1898, which led to arrests and later release of several townsmen.

Under American rule, a public school system was set up, the railway reached the town in 1909, and epidemics and storms marked the era. Political rivalry also began as elections shifted from council choice to popular voting.

Over time, Dumarao’s leaders built programs and projects that shaped the town, aiming for a community focused on growth, better living conditions, and care for its environment.

It is 45 kilometres (28 mi) from Roxas City.

Dumarao is politically subdivided into 33 barangays.  Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
