Reynaldo Parojinog, mayor of the city of Ozamiz on Mindanao island, was killed with his wife and 10 others at his home as police served a warrant.
Officers were fired on by the mayor's security guards, officials said.
More than 7,000 people are said to have been killed since Mr Duterte launched a war on the drugs trade in July 2016.
Police were serving an arrest warrant when they were "met with a volley of fire" by Mr Parojinog's security guards, officials said.
Mr Parojinog's brother was also killed in the dawn raid in Ozamiz. His daughter, the city's vice-mayor, was arrested and faces charges relating to drugs offences, police said.
