Panday Pira (Kapampángan: Pandeng Pira; 1488–1576) was a Filipino Kapampángan Muslim blacksmith His name literally translates as "Blacksmith Pira", panday being the Tagalog word for "blacksmith". Panday Pira was a native of the southern islands of the Philippines. He migrated to Manila in 1508 and established a foundry on the northern bank of the Pasig River. Rajah Sulayman commissioned Panday Pira to cast the cannon that were mounted on the palisades surrounding his kingdom. In 1570, Castilian forces under the command of Martin de Goiti captured Manila and took these artillery pieces as war booty, presenting them to Miguel López de Legazpi, the first Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines.
