The olive-faced flatbill was described by the English ornithologists Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin in 1873 from a specimen collected in Pebas, Peru. They coined the binomial name Rhynchocyclus viridiceps. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the ochre-lored flatbill (Tolmomyias flaviventris ) but is now considered as a separate species based primarily on its very different vocalization.
