The Amazing Race Philippines is a Philippine television reality competition show broadcast by TV5. The show is based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Derek Ramsey, it aired from October 29, 2012 to December 7, 2014, replacing Artista Academy and was replaced by Wattpad Presents. Each season is split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated Pit Stops. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins the grand prize of 2 million.

The show is produced by the Australian production company, activeTV, which has also produced The Amazing Race Asia, The Amazing Race Australia, an Israeli version called HaMerotz LaMillion, and the Ukrainian version called Velyki Perehony. It is the fifth Asia-Pacific version after The Amazing Race Asia, The Amazing Race Australia, The Amazing Race: China Rush and The Amazing Race Vietnam.
