Sisig (/ˈsiːsɪɡ/ Tagalog pronunciation: ['sisig]) is a Filipino dish made from pork jowl and ears (maskara), which is usually seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili peppers. It originates from the Pampanga region in Luzon.

Sisig is a staple of Kapampangan cuisine. The city government of Angeles, Pampanga, through City Ordinance No. 405, series of 2017, declared sizzling sisig babi ("pork sisig") a tangible heritage of the city.
