Apayao, officially known as the Province of Apayao (Filipino: Lalawigan ng Apayao) is a landlocked province of the Philippines. It is located in the Cordillera Region and is bordered by the provinces of Cagayan to the north and east, Kalinga to the south, Abra to the south-west, and Ilocos Norte to the west. Its capital and largest town is Luna, located in the north-eastern corner of the province. It is the most sparsely populated province of the Philippines.

The province has a population of 199,748, and a population density of 45 people per square kilometer, the lowest in the country.

Geography
The province is heavily mountainous, being in the Cordillera Region. A majority of the province's population lives in the north eastern corner, on the flat plain of the Cagayan River, in and around the main town of Luna. There is also a large valley in the centre of the province with a population of about 20,000 people.

Due to the intense terrain, there are no roads connecting to the neighbouring provinces of Ilocos Norte or Abra.
