Jiquilpan (Spanish: [xiˈkilpan] ⓘ; also spelled Xiuquilpan, Xiquilpan, Xiquilpa, based on a Náhuatl word for "place of tint plants") is a municipality in the Mexican state of Michoacán.

Jiquilpan is the birthplace of Damián Alcázar, actor and movie director, who was in the films El crimen del padre Amaro, La Ley de Herodes, and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, among others.

The city is also the birthplace of trumpet virtuoso Rafael Méndez.

It has sister city exchange programs with Indio, California and Palmdale, California in the United States, where large numbers of residents from Jiquilpan relocated to in the 2000s.

In the year 2000, the population was 25,778, but estimates can reach as high as 50,000 when seasonal migrant laborers come and stay there.
