The Mindanao serin (Chrysocorythus mindanensis) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae.
It is found in the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland.
The Mindanao serin was formerly considered conspecific with the Indonesian serin (Chrysocorythus estherae), together called the mountain serin, but was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021.[2]
