第1菲律賓步兵團（1st Filipino Infantry Regiment）是美國陸軍中一支實行種族隔離制度的部隊，其成員主要是來自美國本土的菲律賓裔美國人，另外還有少量曾在之前參加過1941-42年的菲律賓戰役的老兵。在加州國民警衛隊的支持下，該團於加利福尼亞州聖路易斯奧比斯波營地成立。該部隊原本被設置為營級單位，1942年7月13 日，上級正式宣佈將該部隊擴充為團級單位。起初，該團於1944年被部署到了新幾內亞，之後其官兵曾參加過特種部隊，亦曾在日本菲律賓佔領區執行任務。1945年，該團被部署至菲律賓，在這裏經歷了幾次戰鬥。主要戰役結束後，該團又在菲律賓駐紮了一段時間，直至1946年返回加州，最終在斯通曼營撤編[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.
