Ganassi, officially the Municipality of Ganassi (Maranao: Inged a Ganassi; Tagalog: Bayan ng Ganassi), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Lanao del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 30,802 people.[4]

The municipality used to host the 'finest example of a traditional torogan' according to Jesus T. Peralta of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. In January 2016, a media team found that the Laguindab torogan still stands in Ganassi, though it is badly damaged. A conservation effort is needed to rehabilitate the Laguindab torogan, one of the most outstanding royal houses built in the entire Philippines.
