Expressway of the Philippines is composed of 10 expressways that connects Metro Manila to the provinces in the North Luzon and South Luzon. As of now not all expressways are interconnected, with a plan in the future to connect all of the expressways to form a network.

The first expressway systems in the Philippines are the North Luzon Expressway, formerly known as North Diversion Road and the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx), formerly known as South Super Highway. Both were built in the 1970s, during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos. The first Elevated Toll Road in the Philippines is the Metro Manila Skyway or the South Metro Manila Skyway Project, built in 1995 to 1999, during the presidency of Fidel Ramos and Joseph Estrada. The STAR Tollway I, from Santo Tomas to Lipa, was opened in 2001; STAR Tollway II, from Lipa to the Batangas City Port, opened in 2008. The Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway or SCTEx Project was initiated under the administration of former President Joseph Estrada with an original project cost of ₱15.73 billion. Construction was started in 2005 under the government of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It is the longest tollway in the Philippines that connects Subic, Clark and Tarlac. It was completed with a project cost of ₱34.957 billion. In 2008, the SCTEx was formally opened, setting the stage for the development of the TPLEx, which would extend beyond the SCTEx' terminus in Tarlac City.

There are many under construction and proposed expressways in the Philippines. All the Expressways in the Philippines are privately owned.

Asian Highway 26/Pan-Philippine Highway () passes through the two expressway:
