The Sharpe's Rail (Gallirallus sharpei) is a species of bird in the Rallidae family. It is only known from the type specimen of unknown origin, but it has been speculated that it originated from Indonesia. Due to the lack of recent records, it has been considered extinct, but new evidence suggests it possibly is better regarded as a morph of the Buff-banded Rail.
