The Mindanao Brown Dove (Phapitreron brunneiceps) is a threatened species of bird in the Columbidae family. It is endemic to forests on the Philippine islands of Mindanao and Basilan, but it has not been recorded from the latter island since 1937. It is threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Until recently, it was considered conspecific with the Tawitawi Brown Dove.
