Mindanao Avenue () is an eight-to-ten-lane divided avenue connecting EDSA and NLEX and is a part of Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) in Metro Manila, Philippines. It is one of the three parallel roads that connects Tandang Sora and Congressional Avenues (Visayas Avenue and Luzon Avenue were the others); that is why it was named after the southernmost mainland of the Philippines, Mindanao. It used to be a 2 km highway connecting North Avenue and Congressional Avenue, but as a part of the C-5 projects, Mindanao Avenue was extended to EDSA in the south and to Quirino Highway to the north. The new roads opened in 2000.

Another road in Quezon City, also named Mindanao Avenue, starts in Barangay Santa Monica, crosses Commonwealth Avenue and Regalado Highway, and terminates at a dead end at the School of Saint Anthony in Barangay Greater Lagro, Quezon City. That road is not connected to the original Mindanao Avenue but was planned to be the same road according to the 1949 Plan of Quezon City. It would have connected the Diliman Quadrangle to the La Mesa Watershed area.

Mindanao Avenue replaced some segments of Tandang Sora Avenue belonging to C-5; Tandang Sora has no access to the North Luzon Expressway. NLEX Segment 8.1, also known as the NLEX Mindanao Avenue Link, began construction afterwards.

In 2017, DPWH resumed construction of the 3.2 km Mindanao Avenue Extension Project after it had been halted for years due to road right-of-way issues, notably involving residential areas. A total of 1.4 km of the road was completed and opened in 2014. In June 2018, DPWH opened an additional 700 m portion from P. Dela Cruz Street to the current end at MGM Road. The road will be extended until it meets General Luis Street in North Caloocan.
