Binakayan, or Binacayan, is a geographic region of the Philippines located between the Imus River on the north and east, Bacoor Bay on the west and the City of Imus on the south in the Province of Cavite. Because it includes the mouth of the Imus River, it is a significant waterbird site and watershed.{{cite web |url=https://www.iucn.nl/app/uploads/2021/03/2018_wi-iucn_nl_-_internationally_important_waterbird_sites_in_manila_bay.pdf |title=Internationally Important Waterbird Sites in Manila Bay, Philippines |first=Arne E. |last=Jensen |date=October 2018 |publisher=Wetlands International and IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands |access-date=2025-03-04}}{{cite web |url=https://cavite.gov.ph/home/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/cep2020/CEP2020_CHAPTER02_GEOPHYSICAL%20ENVIRONMENT.pdf |title=Cavite Ecological Profile 2020 |date=2021 |publisher=Research, Statistics, Monitoring, and Evaluation Division, Provincial Planning and Development Office, Provincial Government of Cavite |access-date=2025-03-04}} It is a populated district located within the northeast corner of the present-day town of Kawit and includes the barangays Balsahan-Bisita, Binakayan-Aplaya, Binakayan-Kanluran, Congbalay-Legaspi, Manggahan-Lawin, Pulvorista, Samala-Marquez and Tramo-Bantayan.{{cite web |url=https://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/sites/default/files/references/flood_hazard_maps/Kawit%20Flood%20Map.pdf |title=Flood Hazard Map |date=23 July 2015 |publisher=Municipality of Kawit, Province of Cavite |access-date=2025-03-04}}
