Leyte is een van de grotere eilanden van de Filipijnen. Het eiland ligt in het oosten van de centraal gelegen eilandengroep Visayas ten noordoosten van Cebu en Bohol. Het eiland, op zeven na het grootste van de Filipijnen, had bij de laatste officiële telling in 2000 1,5 miljoen inwoners op een oppervlakte van 7214 km². Eind 1944 vond hier de Slag om Leyte plaats die, samen met de Slag in de Golf van Leyte, de verdrijving van de Japanners uit de Philippijnen inluidde.
