Mount Makaturing, also known locally as Palaw a Magatoring, is a stratovolcano on Mindanao island in the Philippines.
It is located in the province of Lanao del Sur (particularly in the town of Butig) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
Makaturing has an elevation of 1,940 metres (6,365 ft) and a base diameter of 29 km (18 mi).
