White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.

Inhabits dense marsh vegetation, flooded forest edges, and wet grassland in northern South America. Secretive; detected by sharp calls. Feeds on invertebrates and seeds.
