Ifugaos are the people inhabiting Ifugao Province.
They come from the municipalities of Lagawe (Capital Town), Aguinaldo, Alfonso Lista, Asipulo, Banaue, Hingyon, Hungduan, Kiangan, Lamut, Mayoyao and Tinoc.

The term "Ifugao" is derived from "ipugo" which means "earth people", "mortals" or "humans", as distinguished from spirits and deities.
It also means "from the hill", as pugo means hill.

The province of Ifugao in the southeastern part of the Cordillera region is best known for its famous Banaue Rice Terraces, which in modern times have become one of the major tourist attractions of the Philippines and one of the eight wonders of the world.

Traditionally, Ifugaos build their typical houses (bale), consisting of one room, built on 4 wooden posts 3 meters off the ground.
There is a detachable ladder (tete) for the front door (panto).
 Huts are temporary buildings.
 Rice granaries are called alang, protected by a wooden idol (bulul).

Aside from their rice terraces, the Ifugaos, who speak four distinct dialects, are known for their rich oral literary traditions of hudhud and the alim.
 Due to being isolated by the terrain, Ifugaos usually speak in English and Ilocano as their alternative to their mother tongue.
 Most Ifugaos are fluent in Filipino/Tagalog.

The Ifugaos’ highest prestige feasts are the hagabi, sponsored by the elite (kadangyan); and the uyauy, a marriage feast sponsored by those immediately below the wealthiest (inmuy-ya-uy).
 The middle class are the tagu, while the poor are the nawotwot.
