The Malayan partridge (Arborophila campbelli), also known as the Malay partridge, Malaysian partridge, Malay hill partridge or Campbell's partridge, is a bird species in the family Phasianidae. It is occasionally classified as a subspecies of the gray-breasted partridge, although most sources classify it as a separate monotypic species. It is relatively reclusive, and is found throughout highland forest habitats in Peninsular Malaysia. This bird primarily inhabits developed forests containing lush undergrowth, and is known to feed on fruits of rattan palms and the creeping plant Pratia begoniaefolia, along with termites and gastropods.
