Mariam Sangki-Mangudadatu (born April 11, 1973) is a Filipina politician who has been the chief executive of Maguindanao del Sur since its division from Maguindanao in 2022. Her position is currently disputed as her assumption as acting governor remains unrecognized by the Bangsamoro and national governments, the latter of which recognizes her only as the officer in charge of the province. Previously, she was the 11th and 1st female governor of Maguindanao, serving from 2019 to 2022.{{Cite web |last=Dinoy |first=Orlando |title=5 Maguindanao clans unite as Mangudadatu kin split |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1103385/5-maguindanao-clans-unite-as-mangudadatu-kin-split |access-date=2019-08-17 |website=Inquirer.net |date=April 5, 2019 |language=en}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.bworldonline.com/a-mangudadatu-elected-1st-woman-governor-of-maguindanao/ |title=A Mangudadatu elected 1st woman governor of Maguindanao |website=BusinessWorld |date=May 19, 2019 |language=en-PH |access-date=2019-08-17}}{{Cite news |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/04/19/dong-mangudadatu-seeks-to-transcend-muslim-identity-in-senate-bid |title=Dong Mangudadatu seeks to transcend Muslim identity in Senate bid |last=Placido |first=Dharel |work=ABS-CBN News |access-date=2019-08-17}}

The former Maguindanao province was dissolved into two new provinces following the 2022 Maguindanao division plebiscite on September 17, 2022, and she was supposed to become acting governor of the new Maguindanao del Sur province.{{cite news |title=With Maguindanao split into 2, Mindanao now has 28 provinces and BARMM has 6 |url=https://www.mindanews.com/top-stories/2022/09/with-maguindanao-split-into-2-mindanao-now-has-28-provinces-and-barmm-has-6/ |access-date=18 September 2022 |work=MindaNews |date=18 September 2022}} However this was uncertain, since the relevant provision presumes that the plebiscite would be held before the May 2022 national elections but the division vote was postponed after that date.{{cite news |title=Who will lead two Maguindanao provinces?
