The Woolley's three-striped dasyure (Myoictis leucera) is a member of the order Dasyuromorphia. This marsupial carnivore lives in Papua New Guinea.

This species inhabits primary montane forest. Like its congeners, it is thought to be diurnal and largely terrestrial. Peter Dwyer has noted seeing this species active during daylight hours.
