The black-throated whipbird (Psophodes nigrogularis ) is a passerine bird found in several scattered populations in Southwest Australia. It is predominantly olive green in colour. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the white-bellied whipbird (Psophodes leucogaster ), so shares the common name "western whipbird".
