The ashy minivet (Pericrocotus divaricatus) is a passerine bird of eastern Asia belonging to the minivet genus Pericrocotus in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.

While most of the minivets have shades of yellow, orange and red in their plumage, this species has only greys, whites and blacks.

[3] It is one of the few passerine birds that moult their primaries twice in a year[4] and is the longest distance migrant among the minivets.

[5] It breeds in south-east Siberia, north-east China, Korea and Japan.

Birds in the Ryūkyū Islands of southern Japan are commonly considered to be a separate species—Ryukyu minivet (P. tegimae).
