Miogallus is an extinct genus of large pheasant that lived during the Miocene of Europe. It contains a single species, Miogallus altus.^[1][2]

Miogallus altus is better known as Miophasianus altus found by Mlíkovský who found the genus Miophasianus Lambrech in 1933 to be a nomen nudum. Even if the genus name Miophasianus was made available later by Brodkorb, we agree with Mlikovský that Miogallus longaevus Lambrecht, 1933 is very probably a junior synonym of M. altus. As a consequence of the priority of Miogallus Lambrecht, 1933 over Miophasianus Brodkorb, 1952, the species must be named Miogallus altus.^[3]
