Santo Niño is a barangay located in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines. The barangay surrounds the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on its west and south sides, with a large portion of the barangay extending into the property of the airport grounds to include Terminal 1 as well as the western half of Runway 06/24. The barangay has a total land area of 245.97 hectares (607.8 acres) of which about 55% is occupied by the airport complex. Its population is concentrated in the areas along the Estero de Tripa de Gallina.
Across the Tripa de Gallina to the west are the barangays of Tambo and Don Galo. To the south, it also shares borders with La Huerta along the Parañaque River, and with Moonwalk along the Ibayo Creek (Cañales Creek). Its northern borders are Vitalez, and the Pasay district of Maricaban including Barangay 183 (Villamor Air Base). As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 28,925.
As an "airport village," Santo Niño is a hub for aviation logistics and tourism, serving as the main base of operations for companies such as AAI Group, the Duty Free Philippines, Royal Cargo, and a branch of SPI Global. Retail stores line much of the area of Ninoy Aquino Avenue in the barangay's southern portion, including the Duty Free Fiesta Mall and S&R Membership Shopping Parañaque.
