The Rose-collared Piha (Lipaugus streptophorus) is a species of bird in the Cotingidae family. It is found in humid forests growing in the Tepui highlands in south-eastern Venezuela, western Guyana and far northern Brazil.

Only the male has the rosy collar for which this species is named. The female resembles the Screaming Piha, but has a cinnamon vent.
