Binidayan, officially the Municipality of Binidayan (Maranao and Iranun: Inged a Binidayan; Tagalog: Bayan ng Binidayan), is a municipality in the province of Lanao del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 27,031 people.
The name "Binidayan" derives from the term Bindayan, which means "ready to cultivate".
The municipality of Binidayan was created by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 482 series of 1954. Its first local election was held on the 1957 Philippine General Election, hence numerous individuals were appointed as its local officials prior to the 1957 Philippine General Election.
Sultan Raraco Pundag Macaorao was the municipality's first mayor by virtue of appointment. Datu Omar Basman Olama was its first elected municipal mayor, while Sultan Muliloda Dimaporo was the municipality's longest serving chief executive.
After the 1986 People Power Revolution which resulted to the ascension of President Cory Aquino, all incumbent local officials were removed from their respective offices to pave way to President Aquino's reform agenda. As a result, numerous individuals were named as the municipality's officials prior to the 1988 General election.
Binidayan is politically subdivided into 26 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
