San Julian, officially the Municipality of San Julian (Waray: Bungto han San Julian; Tagalog: Bayan ng San Julian), is a municipality in the province of Eastern Samar, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 14,509 people.
The establishment of Libas in 1781 as a village was largely the work of a Franciscan parish priest of Sulat, Fr Melchor Claver. Through his efforts, a church was constructed, and houses were gathered around it. He directed the construction of a casa tribunal, a cemetery, and a rectory (convento). On July 4, 1863, Libas was separated from Sulat politically and ecclesiastically, and as it already had enough population and revenues to support a priest, was erected into a diocesan parish on August 25, 1871
