Benigno Ramos: Bounty Hunter is an adventure story arc of the Philippine comic strip series Pugad Baboy, created by Pol Medina, Jr. and originally published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer from July to October 2005. In 2006, the story arc was republished in the Pugad Baboy Sunday Comics compilation.
