Binibining Pilipinas 1999 was the 36th edition of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, on February 20, 1999.

At the end of the event, Jewel May Lobaton crowned Janelle Bautista as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 1999, Rachel Soriano crowned Miriam Quiambao as Binibining Pilipinas World 1999, while Colette Centeno crowned Lalaine Edson as Binibining Pilipinas International 1999. Michelle Arcangel was named First Runner-Up, while Joelle Marie Pelaez was named Second Runner-Up.

More than a month after the pageant, Janelle Bautista voluntarily relinquished her title due to a defective passport and citizenship issues and was replaced by Miriam Quiambao as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 1999. Lalaine Edson assumed the title of Binibining Pilipinas World 1999, while Georgina Sandico, one of the 10 semi-finalists, was appointed as Binibining Pilipinas International 1999.^[1][2][3]
