Mainit, officially the Municipality of Mainit (Surigaonon: Lungsod nan Mainit; Cebuano: Lungsod sa Mainit; Tagalog: Bayan ng Mainit), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Surigao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 28,019 people.[3]

It is situated on the north shore of Lake Mainit in the north-eastern part of Mindanao. The word "mainit" literally means "hot". The other local term for "mainit" is "mapaso."

It is regarded that Mainit got its name from this hot sulfuric spring.[5]
