Tayug is a landlocked municipality in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. As of the 2010 Census, it had a population of 40,018 people.

The municipality is situated between the 5 neighboring towns of Santa Maria, San Quintin, San Nicolas, Natividad and Asingan, and is the center of commercial business in the eastern part of Pangasinan,

Tayug derived its name from the word "layug" which means "tall" in the Ilocano language. During the early days of the settlement of the place, there was a tall bacayao tree with an unusual height of about fifty meters. The people thus begun calling the place and surroundings as "Layug". The letter "L" in the word Layug was difficult for the people to pronounce so that it was later on changed to "T" by common usage, hence the name "Tayug."
