Cotabato City is an independent component city on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is the regional center of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, although it lies geographically within Maguindanao del Norte and is not subject to the regulation of that provincial government. The city faces Illana Bay, part of the Moro Gulf, and the Rio Grande de Mindanao separates it from Sultan Kudarat to the north; much of its land area lies below sea level, so flooding is a constant risk. Historically it was the capital of the Sultanate of Maguindanao, and later the capital of the former Province of Cotabato. The 2024 census counted 383,383 people, the most of any independent component city in the country.
