The black-collared bulbul (Neolestes torquatus), or black-collared greenbul, is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae.

It is monotypic within the genus Neolestes.

[2] For many years, some authorities considered the genus to belong to the bushshrike or shrike families due to shape and plumage similarities until a review of molecular genetic relationships in 1999 confirmed the behavioural and morphological affinities to Pycnonotidae.

[3] The black-collared bulbul is found in equatorial Africa in its natural habitat of dry savanna.
