Lakewood, officially the Municipality of Lakewood (; Subanen: Benwa Danaw; Chavacano: Municipalidad de Lakewood; ), is a municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 21,559 people.
Etymology
The old name of Lakewood is Danaw Likowai and Tubod is Obod. Its name derives from the Cebuano term tubod which means "spring". Its current name derived from Lake Wood, a large lake on which the poblacion is located.

The municipality was founded on November 11, 1977, when Barangays Gatub and Bagong Kahayag of the Municipality of Kumalarang and Barangays Lakewood, Bolalawan, Sebugay, Bisuangan, Lokoan, Backing, Dagum, Sapang Pinolis, Tubod, Gasa, Tiwales and Matalang of the Municipality of Lapuyan were separated and formed into an independent municipality. The most popular species of fish in the province can only be caught in the lake: the carpa and porang.
