Negros Bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba keayi) is a species of pigeon endemic to the Philippines where it is found on the islands of Negros and Panay.

This species has an extremely small, severely fragmented population. Continuing rates of forest loss on the two islands where it occurs suggest that it will continue to decline, thereby qualifying it as critically endangered.
