The Visayan miniature babbler (Micromacronus leytensis) is a bird species in the family Cisticolidae.

M. leytensis is endemic to the Philippines . Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Its status is insufficiently known.
