The San Miguel Foundation for the Performing Arts was a multi-awarded performing arts group of the Philippines. It was founded in May 2001 by Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco and musician Ryan Cayabyab and aims to be a staunch advocate in the preservation, performance, and development of Filipino music.

The foundation consists of two major performing groups: the San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra and the San Miguel Master Chorale. These performing groups have premiered over a hundred Filipino compositions and arrangements in various concerts and recordings. The Foundation also undertakes co-production with other agencies to promote Filipino music.
