The Madagascar jacana (Actophilornis albinucha) is a species of bird in the family Jacanidae.

It is not wary of human activity,[2] but it is hypothesized to be avoidant of the common moorhen.

[2] It inhabits different sites within Madagascar during wet versus dry season.

[2] Female Madagascar jacanas are significantly larger than males.
