The Tsingy wood rail (Canirallus beankaensis) is a species of bird in the family Sarothruridae that only was scientifically described in 2011.
It is endemic to areas with dry deciduous forest and limestone karst in the lowlands of west-central Madagascar. It is larger than the Madagascan wood rail, and also differs in the colour of the throat, moustachial stripe and region near the eyes.
