Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.

Inhabits freshwater marshes, lake margins, and rice paddies across the main Philippine islands. Feeds on aquatic plants, invertebrates, and small vertebrates.
