Licab is a municipality in the landlocked province of Nueva Ecija in the Philippines. As of the 2010 Census, it had a population of 26,187 people.

Licab was formerly a part of the town of Aliaga, Nueva Ecija. In 1835, immigrant Don Dalmacio Esguerra and brother Tomas, toiled to scrape off thick leaves using only hoes and twigs of hard trees. The Esguerra Brothers first called the place “Pulung—Tamat”. Later, after years of successful tilling and with families growing bigger they renamed the place "Licab", an Ilocano word meaning "to scrape off".

About one hundred fifty five (155) kilometers from Metro Manila, Licab lies in the lowest portion of the province.

Licab is politically subdivided into 11 barangays:

-Aquino
-Linao
-Poblacion Norte
-Poblacion Sur
-San Casimiro
-San Cristobal
-San Jose
-San Juan
-Santa Maria
