The Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom (abbreviated as MCPIF, or #MCPIF for online usage) is an internet law bill filed in the Congress of the Philippines. The bill contains provisions promoting civil and political rights and Constitutional guarantees for Philippine internet users, such as freedom of expression, as well as provisions on information and communications technology (ICT) policy, ICT4D, internet governance, e-governance, cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, cyberterrorism, and cybercrime.

The Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom was proposed as an alternative^[1] to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 whose enactment was met with mixed reactions.^[2] Proponents of the bill claim that the #MCPIF is the first crowdsourced bill in the Philippines.^[1]
