Tristan Moorhen (Gallinula nesiotis) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. Dark sooty-brown with reduced wings and stout legs. Related to Common Moorhen but island-adapted. Extirpated by introduced rats and cats by the 19th century. Known from subfossil remains and early expedition accounts.
