The Visayan miniature babbler (Micromacronus leytensis) is a bird species in the family Cisticolidae. It was for a long time the only member of the genus Micromacronus, but the Mindanao miniature babbler, formerly included in M. leytensis as a subspecies, is now usually held to be a distinct species, M. sordidus.
