Tudela, officially the Municipality of Tudela (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Tudela; Tagalog: Bayan ng Tudela), is a 5th class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 11,304 people, making it the least populated municipality in the province.[3]

Tudela is eight kilometres (5 mi) east of the town center of Poro. Along with the town of Poro, Tudela is located on Poro Island. The town celebrates the fiesta of parish patron Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception each 8 December.

The town center comprises two barangays: Northern and Southern Poblacion. The nearly symmetrical arrangement of the streets allows pedestrians to navigate easily while viewing old houses (early 1900s) standing side by side with new ones.

Tudela is bordered to the north by the Province of Leyte in the Camotes Sea, to the west is the town of Poro, to the east is the island of Ponson with town of Pilar and the Province of Leyte, and to the south is the Camotes Sea
