Badiraguato, Administrative division in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The municipality of Badiraguato extends across 5,864 square kilometers of mountainous terrain within the Sierra Madre Occidental range of northwestern Mexico.

The Spanish colonial period brought Jesuit missionaries who established San Juan de Badiraguato in the seventeenth century, transforming the indigenous Tebaca settlements.

The name Badiraguato originates from Cahita-Tarascos indigenous languages, translating to 'stream of many hills' in reference to the local geography.

The municipality contains fifteen administrative subdivisions called sindicaturas, with the main town serving as the governmental seat for 29,999 residents.

The municipality houses the largest statue of Judas Thaddaeus worldwide, which was installed in September 2023 as a religious monument.
