Tablas Strait (Filipino: Kipot ng Tablas), also Tabuas Strait, is a strait in the Philippines separating Mindoro Island, Tablas Island, Panay and Romblon islands.

[1] The approximate depth of the strait is 545 meters (1,788 ft).

The strait is known for being the place where the Sulpicio Lines-owned passenger ferry MV Doña Paz and oil tanker MT Vector[2] sank on December 20, 1987, after colliding with each other, resulting in more than 4,386 deaths.

It was the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster in history.
