The Maguindanao del Sur Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Maguindanao del Sur.
The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into two districts, each having five seats. A voter votes up to five names, with the top five candidates per district being elected. The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties. The vice governor is elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.
The districts used in appropriation of members is not coextensive with the legislative district of Maguindanao del Sur; unlike congressional representation which is at-large, Maguindanao del Sur is divided into two districts for representation in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
Aside from the regular members, the board also includes the provincial federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay (ABC, from its old name "Association of Barangay Captains"), the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK, youth councils), the Philippine Councilors League (PCL), and the indigenous people representation.
The board was formed when the Maguindanao divided itself into two provinces on September 18, 2022 after a successful plebiscite on previous day.
