The gray-bellied mountain rat (Limnomys bryophilus), also called the gray-bellied limnomys and the buffy-collared moss-mouse, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines, where it is common at high elevations in the Kitanglad Mountain Range in Bukidnon province on the island of Mindanao. Its habitat is the moss-rich montane cloud forest between about 2,250 and 2,800 metres. The rats are nocturnal and feed on the ground on arthropods, earthworms, fruit and seeds. Females have three pairs of mammae yet appear to give birth only about once a year, to as few as one or two young. The species is one of just two in the genus Limnomys, the other being the Mindanao mountain rat, Limnomys sibuanus.
