The Missing (Ilocano: Iti Mapukpukaw) is a 2023 Philippine adult animated science fiction film written and directed by Carl Joseph Papa. Carlo Aquino portrays Eric, an animator without a mouth prompted by his mother to visit his uncle, which leads to the return of an alien he encountered in childhood intent on taking him away from Earth. It also stars Gio Gahol and Dolly de Leon. Employing rotoscope and traditional animation, The Missing is Papa's third feature-length animated film, after Manang Biring (2015), and Paglisan (2018).

The Missing premiered in competition at the 19th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival on 5 August 2023, winning Best Film, Best Supporting Actress (de Leon), and the NETPAC award. It is Cinemalaya's first feature-length animated film. It was also the highest-grossing film among that year's Cinemalaya entries.

On 29 September 2023, the Film Development Council of the Philippines and the Film Academy of the Philippines announced The Missing as the Philippine entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 96th Academy Awards, making it the first animated film submitted by the Philippines.
