Tanay, Mountain municipality in Rizal, Philippines.

The municipality extends across varied terrain including mountains, rivers, and forests, situated 54 kilometers from Manila at 37 meters above sea level.

Founded in 1606 as Monte de Tan-ay, the municipality served as a strategic guerrilla base in the mountains during World War II against Japanese forces.

The municipality holds two major annual celebrations: the Tanay Town Fiesta from January 22-24 and the Hane Festival each November.

The local government divides the municipality into 20 barangays, each containing multiple puroks for effective community administration and service delivery.

The Regina Rica religious site, Mount Daraitan, Tinipak River, and Calinawan Cave form a network of natural and spiritual destinations within the territory.
