Tantawan Park (Filipino: Liwasan ng Tantawan) is a historical park in Cotabato City, Philippines. The park features a monument of Sultan Muhammad Kudarat of Maguindanao.

It is located on the corner of Quezon Avenue and Sinsuat Avenue, next to a branch of the Central Bank of The Philippines and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cotabato.

Situated at the foot of Pedro Colina Hill, also known as Tantawan, it is a historical site in Mindanao. A Maguindanao watch tower stood on this land for the defence of the Maguindanao Sultanate from Spanish invasions from 1635 to 1645.
