Mindoro est la septième plus grande île des Philippines de par sa superficie. Elle se trouve au sud-ouest de l'île de Luçon et au nord-est de l'île de Palawan, en mer de Sulu. Dans le passé, l'île était appelée Ma-I ou encore Mait par les chinois. Le nom Mindoro vient du nom que les Espagnols donnèrent à l'île : "Mina de Oro" ("mine d'or"). Administrativement l'île est divisée en deux provinces : Mindoro-Est et Mindoro-Ouest. Elle fut le théâtre de la bataille de Mindoro en décembre 1944.
