The Visayan Miniature-babbler (Micromacronus leytensis) is a bird species in the family Timaliidae. It was for long 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.
M. leytensis is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Its status is insufficiently known.
