The Ampoza ground roller (Brachypteracias langrandi) was a species of bird in the ground roller family Brachypteraciidae.

[2] It is known only from a single humerus fossil discovered in 1929 in southwest Madagascar.

[1] Little is known about the species, but it is suggested that the bird's habitat becoming more arid was a contributing factor in its demise.

[1] The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek brakhupteros, meaning short-winged.

[3] The species was named in honour of Olivier Langrand, an ornithologist who had worked in Madagascar.
