Bambusicola is a genus of bird in the Phasianidae family.
It contains the following species:
- Mountain bamboo partridge, Bambusicola fytchii
- Chinese bamboo partridge, Bambusicola thoracicus
- Taiwan bamboo partridge, Bambusicola sonorivox
Fossil remains of a bamboo partridge have been found in Late Miocene rocks in China. Thus, like many other phasianid genera the Bambusicola lineage dates back more than 5 million years.
