The Sulu pygmy woodpecker (Yungipicus ramsayi), also known as the Sulu woodpecker, is a species of bird in the family Picidae. Formerly lumped with the Philippine pygmy woodpecker (Y. maculatus), it seems to form a superspecies with this and the Sulawesi pygmy woodpecker (Y. temminckii). Some taxonomic authorities continue to place this species in the genus Dendrocopos or Picoides.
It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical mangrove forest, and arable land. It is threatened by habitat loss.
