Enrile, officially the Municipality of Enrile (Itawis: Babalay yo Enrile; Ibanag: Ili nat Enrile; Ilocano: Ili ti Enrile; Tagalog: Bayan ng Enrile), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Cagayan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 36,705 people.[4]

Enrile lies on the southernmost part of Cagayan, bounded by Sta. Maria, Isabela to the south, by the mighty Cagayan River to the east, by Solana and Tuguegarao to the north, and Rizal, Kalinga to the west.

The town is predominantly an agricultural town where the majority of its population derive their income from farming. It has a land area of 18,451.3 hectares unevenly distributed to the 22-barangays of the municipality. Its main products are rice, corn, peanut, tobacco and vegetables.

Its citizens are called Itawes because they speak the Itawis dialect (locally called Itawit). Ilocanos and Tagalogs have settled at the western barangays and have blended very well in the mainstream of Itawes life.
