Santa Fe, officially the Municipality of Santa Fe (; ), is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 34,834 people.
Because the island's airport and principal ferry port are both located within the municipality, Santa Fe is considered the gateway to Bantayan and its islands.
Geography
The municipality's territory occupies the southeastern portion of Bantayan Island (marching with the municipality of Bantayan), together with the islands of Guintacan (or Kinatarkan), Hilantagaan and Hilantagaan Diot (or Silion). Santa Fe is bordered to the north by the town of Bantayan, to the west also by Bantayan, to the east is the town of Medellin and to the south is the Tañon Strait.
Barangays
Santa Fe is politically subdivided into 10 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

| Although there is some small-scale industry, the municipality's principal source of income is fishing and agriculture, and from holidaymakers who come in large numbers, most notably during Holy Week, to enjoy the particularly fine white sand and uncrowded beaches. |
Transport
Bantayan Airport, serving the whole Bantayan Island, is located in Santa Fe. Air Juan operates scheduled flights between Mactan Airport three days a week. The town can also be reached by ferry from Hagnaya Wharf in San Remigio, Cebu.
In August 2024, the Port of Cebu announced the construction of a PHP500 million Santa Fe Port, featuring a finger wharf, passenger terminal and marina for international cruise ships. The four phases project also includes causeway's reinforced concrete deck, and berthing areas for ferries and roll-on/roll-off vessels.
