The Mimbilisan Protected Landscape is a protected landscape area located in the province of Misamis Oriental in Northern Mindanao in the Philippines. It was established in 1936 to protect the watershed forest surrounding the Mimbilisan Falls in the municipality of Talisayan declared through Proclamation No. 51 by President Manuel Luis Quezon. It had an initial area of 72 hectares and is an important source for Mimbilisan Water System that supplies water to the surrounding communities in eastern Misamis Oriental. In 1999 and again, in 2007, the forest reserve was reestablished as a protected landscape under the National Integrated Protected Areas System with the enactment of Proclamation No. 134 and Republic Act No. 9494. It is one of five declared protected areas of the Philippines in Misamis Oriental.
