Sulu (), officially the Province of Sulu (Tausūg: ''Wilaya' sin Lupa' Sūg''; ; ); is a province of the Philippines in the Sulu Archipelago and part of the Zamboanga Peninsula region.
It was part of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), until the Supreme Court of the Philippines on September 9, 2024, declared its inclusion to be unconstitutional because of the province's simple majority vote against it during the 2019 Bangsamoro autonomy plebiscite.
