The '''Rodrigues warbler''' ('''''Acrocephalus rodericanus''''') is a species of Old World warbler in the family Acrocephalidae.
It is found only on the island of Rodrigues (which belongs to Mauritius) and used to be plentiful there. Their population soon got smaller. Cyclone Monique in 1968 almost wiped out the entire species.<ref>Endangered Birds! by Bob Burton{{full citation needed|date=November 2013}}</ref> Then a cyclone in 1979 reduced the population even more.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} The main threats to these birds is the destruction of vegetation for fuel or grazing, rats, and cyclones (natural disasters).
It was considered extinct in the 1960s, but was rediscovered in the 1970s.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Jiménez |first1=Ignacio |last2=Basurto |first2=Xavier |date=March 2022 |title=An organizational framework for effective conservation organizations |journal=Biological Conservation |volume=267 |article-number=109471 |doi=10.1016/j.biocon.2022.109471 |bibcode=2022BCons.26709471J |issn=0006-3207}}</ref>
