Carlos "Sonny" Garcia Dominguez III (born September 16, 1945) is a Filipino businessman and former chief executive of Philippine Airlines who is the 31st Secretary of Finance under President Rodrigo Duterte. He had previously held the position of Secretary of Agriculture and Minister of Natural Resources under the Corazon Aquino presidential administration. Prior to his appointment to President Duterte's Cabinet, he had served as executive director of PTFC Redevelopment Corp., as independent director of Alsons Consolidated Resources, and as director of United Paragon Mining Corp. His family owns Marco Polo Hotel in Davao City, one of the top hotels in southern Mindanao.

Dominguez comes from a prominent Zamboangueño family in Davao City. Born on September 16, 1945 in Zamboanga, he is the son of Carlos Dominguez II and Virginia Anderson Garcia. His grandfather Carlos Dominguez Sr. was a pre-World War II manager of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) in Zamboanga. He grew up in Davao and attended elementary and high school at the Ateneo de Davao University where he was a classmate of Rodrigo Duterte. He moved to Manila for his college studies at the Ateneo de Manila University. Dominguez graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics in 1965 and received a Master of Business Administration from the same university in 1969. He also pursued post-graduate studies in California, U.S. where he completed the Executive Program from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business in 1982.
