第1菲律宾步兵团(1st Filipino Infantry Regiment)是美国陆军中一支实行种族隔离制度的部队,其成员主要是来自美國本土的菲律賓裔美國人,另外还有少量曾在之前参加过1941-42年的菲律賓戰役的老兵。在加州國民警衛隊的支持下,该团于加利福尼亚州圣路易斯奥比斯波营地成立。该部队原本被设置为营级单位,1942年7月13 日,上级正式宣布将该部队扩充为团级单位。起初,该团于1944年被部署到了新幾內亞,之后其官兵曾参加过特種部隊,亦曾在日本菲律宾占领区执行任务。1945年,该团被部署至菲律宾,在这里经历了幾次战斗。主要战役结束后,该团又在菲律宾驻扎了一段时间,直至1946年返回加州,最終在斯通曼营撤编[10][11][12]。

The War Department already had several long-serving segregated units for African Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Filipinos and established several more during 1942. The Office of War information saw propaganda value in having combat units of different nationalities. Thus during 1942 the War Department organized the 1st Filipino infantry in California and battalion-size units of Norwegians, Austrians, and Greeks.
