Pagsanjan (/ˈpəɡsənhɑːn/ PAG-sang-han), officially the Municipality of Pagsanjan (Tagalog: Bayan ng Pagsanjan), is a municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 45,602 people.

It is known as the tourist capital of Laguna and is the home of the Bangkero Festival held every March. The bangkeros are tour guides who steer boats along the river to Pagsanjan Falls (also called Magdapio Falls), for which the town is well known but is actually in neighboring Cavinti.

The municipality was the capital of the province of Laguna for 170 years (from 1688 to 1858), during which the town prospered as the commercial, cultural and learning center of the province.
