Datu is a title which denotes the rulers (variously described in historical accounts as chiefs, sovereign princes, and monarchs) of numerous indigenous peoples throughout the Philippine archipelago. The title is still used today, though not as much as early Philippine history. It is a cognate of datuk, dato, and ratu in several other Austronesian languages.
達圖(Datu)是一個見於菲律賓維薩亞斯群島和民答那峨島的頭銜,乃是地方領袖、酋長或君主的稱號,如今與Lakan、Apo、Rajah、Sultan同是對世襲貴族的尊稱。「達圖」的稱號與印度尼西亞、馬來西亞和汶萊的「拿督」(Datuk)稱號,以及斐濟的「拉圖」(Ratu)稱號有淵源,是在前殖民地時期以前,隨着馬來人的遷移流傳至菲律賓群島。
