The red-throated wood rail (Aramides gutturalis) is a disputed species of bird in the family Rallidae. If it is not a misidentification, it was endemic to Peru and apparently became extinct due to habitat loss some time in the 20th century.^[1]

Following the 2006 SACC assessment which listed this species as dubious taxon BirdLife International removed the red-throated wood rail from the list of extinct species in 2009 as it might be either a badly prepared specimen of the grey-cowled wood rail A. cajanea or a subspecies of the brown wood rail A. wolfi.^[2]
