Lupao is a municipality in the landlocked province of Nueva Ecija in the Philippines. As of the 2010 Census, it had a population of 40,931 people.

Lupao was formerly a barrio of Umingan, Pangasinan. In 1871, some residents led by a Señor Calderon petitioned the Governor General for the segregation of Lupao as a barrio of Umingan and the eventual creation of Lupao as "Tenencia Absoluta" to be headed by a Teniente Absoluto. On September 28, 1871, the Govierno Superior Civil de Filipinas decreed the creation of Lupao as Tenencia Absoluta, which signified the formal segregation as barrio and the eventual creation as "pueblo" of the province of Nueva Ecija. When the American forces defeated the Spaniards, towns were founded through General Order # 43. On January 31, 1901, the Philippine Commission passed Act No. 82 that eventually installed Civil Governments on different towns in the Philippines, including Lupao.
