The Mindanao serin (Chrysocorythus mindanensis) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae.

It is found in the Philippines in the areas of Mount Katanglad and Mount Apo.[2][3] Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forest and tropical high-altitude grassland. Among Mindanao endemic birds, it is the least known with only 1 known photograph of a live specimen in 2012. [4]

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.[5] It is differentiated from the Indonesia serin as its plummage has a larger extent of yellow. [6]

The Mindanao Serin was first described by S. Dillon Ripley and D. S. Rabor from an adult male collected in 1960 by R. B. Gonzales. The original description also includes a color illustration by Robert Verity Clem, and the type is located in the Yale Peabody Museum.[7]
