Maragondon, officially the Municipality of Maragondon (), is a municipality in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 40,687 people.
The town is famous for its bamboo crafts, Mounts Palay-Palay–Mataas-na-Gulod Protected Landscape which includes Mount Pico de Loro, and various ancestral houses and structures important to Philippine history and culture such as Maragondon Church and the execution site and trial house of national hero Andres Bonifacio.
In the second half of the 19th century the towns of Ternate, Magallanes, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo (formerly Bailen), Alfonso, and Naic were mere barrios of Maragondon. Ternate was the first town to attain full independence on March 31, 1857, under an agreement signed by Tomas de Leon, Felix Nigosa, Pablo de Leon, Florencio Nino Franco and Juan Ramos in behalf of the people of Ternate.
Furthermore, Bailen (now Gen. Aguinaldo) and Alfonso seceded from Maragondon in 1858. Naic then severed as a town in 1869. Magallanes was the last of the villages to attain independence, having been founded on July 15, 1879, under an agreement signed by Crisostomo Riel representing Maragondon, and by Isidro Bello and company representing Magallanes.
During the Philippine Revolution on May 4, 1897, revolutionary leader Andres Bonifacio and his brother Procopio Bonifacio were tried and sentenced to death by a military court that convened in the house of one of the town's prominent personalities, Teodorico Reyes, following the Bonifacios' arrest for defying the authority of Emilio Aguinaldo. They were then held at Maragondon Church until May 10, 1897, when they were executed in the Maragondon mountain range.
On September 2, 1952, amid political violence in Cavite, the town's mayor, Severino Rillo, was killed along with the town's police chief and several other police officers in the Maragondon Massacre committed by gangster Nardong Putik also known as "Nardong Putik", who committed the killings on orders from local politicians.
