San Luis, officially the Municipality of San Luis (Cebuano: Lungsod sa San Luis; Tagalog: Bayan ng San Luis), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Agusan del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 35,196 people.[3]

San Luis was created into a municipality on June 15, 1968, when the barrios of San Luis, Santa Inez, Nuevo Trabajo, Cualision and Baylo were separated from the municipality of Esperanza and constituted into the new town, through Republic Act 5262.[5] Since the 1970s, the town's economy has been largely based on logging industries.[6]
