Carmona is one of the 23 barangays of Makati. It is located in the northern part of the city. It is a residential area with a population of 2,745 as of the 2020 census, making it the least populous barangay in the city.{{PH census|current}} The barangay was named after Comandante Isidro Carmona, a Filipino soldier who fought during the Philippine Revolution against the Spaniards.

== History ==

From the American period and under a sovereign Republic of the Philippines, Carmona was a sitio of Barrio Tejeros until the early 1960s. The full official name of the then sitio was Comandante Carmona. It was also alternatively spelled as Kupang, apparently stylized in Tagalog.{{Cite book |last=Salonga |first=Isayas |url=https://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/philamer/aar6353.0001.001 |title=Rizal Province directory |publisher=University of Michigan Digital Collections |year=1934 |volume=1 |location=Manila|accessdate=April 16, 2024}}{{rp|page=[https://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/philamer/aar6353.0001.001/87?rgn=full+text&view=image 79]}} Its namesake was the Filipino commander Isidro Carmona, who participated in several revolts during the 1896 Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire.

The barrio captains Miling Mangahas and Emiliano San Pascual, along with their respective barrio councilors, worked to have Carmona secede from Tejeros as an independent barangay that later came into fruition.{{cite web|url=https://www.makati.gov.ph/barangay/carmona/31|title=Carmona|website=Makati Web Portal|accessdate=July 21, 2022}}
