Mount Mirador is a mountain situated in the city of Baguio in the Cordillera Central mountain range, Luzon Island in the Philippines. A meteorological station was established on September 1909 and was the second highest station during that time with the first being the meteorological station in Mount Fuji.[2] Said station was also equipped with a time ball and a typhoon signal for the benefit of Baguio city.[3]

The mountain provided pockets of Japanese resistance against the USAFIP-NL military and guerrilla regiment during the liberation of Baguio city.[4]
