The Baudo Guan, Penelope ortoni, is a species of bird from the family Cracidae. It is restricted to humid forests in the west Andean foothills of western Colombia and north-western Ecuador. It is highly sensitive to hunting and habitat destruction, with large sections of the Chocó already having disappeared entirely. Consequently, it is considered to be endangered by BirdLife International and IUCN.
