The Black Pika or Silver Pika (Ochotona nigritia) is a species of mammal in the Ochotonidae family. It is endemic to Yunan Province of China. It is only known from four specimens. It was discovered in 2000.

Subsequently, in 2011, a WWF-India team on a expedition to West Kameng, India reported sighting 2 Black Pikas at an altitude of 13,000ft in the Thembang Bapu community-conserved forest area.[2]
