This list of historical markers installed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) in Mimaropa (Region IV-B) is an annotated list of people, places, or events in the region that have been commemorated by cast-iron plaques issued by the said commission. The plaques themselves are permanent signs installed in publicly visible locations on buildings, monuments, or in special locations.

While many Cultural Properties have historical markers installed, not all places marked with historical markers are designated into one of the particular categories of Cultural Properties.

Related to the discovered shipwrecks (Japanese ship Musashi) in Sibuyan Island, Romblon, a group has been pushing the transfer of the marker Labanan sa Karagatan ng Sibuyan (Battle of Sibuyan Sea) to the said island from the town of Alcantara.

This article lists 41 markers from the MIMAROPA Region, including four that are part of the Quincentennial historical markers series.
