Tropical Depression Winnie (sometimes known as 97W.INVEST) was a large, yet badly organized tropical cyclone that hit the Philippines, causing heavy damage. The 23rd tropical cyclone to hit the country this year, the depression was only monitored as such by PAGASA, which gave it the name Winnie, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan.

The depression hit the Philippines as part of four consecutive cyclones to have done so in the space of two weeks. The other three were Typhoon Muifa (Unding), Tropical Storm Merbok (Violeta), and Typhoon Nanmadol (Yoyong). Despite being the weakest of the four, Winnie was the most devastating, claiming between 407 to 893 lives and causing over ten million (2004 USD) in damage. At the time, it was the costliest of the four typhoons, but a later analysis placed Nanmadol's total as higher than Winnie's. Despite this, Winnie remains the sixteenth deadliest tropical cyclone to have ever affected the Philippines, and possibly ranks higher.
