The Bornean stubtail (Urosphena whiteheadi) is a species of bird in the cettiid warbler family Cettiidae.

The tops of the head and the upperparts are brown, with whitish underparts that turn grey at the sides of the breast and the flanks.

It is classified as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to its sufficiently large range and stable population.

The Bornean stubtail was described as Orthnocichla whiteheadi by the British ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1888 on the basis of specimens from Mount Kinabalu, Borneo.

[6] The name of the genus, Urosphena, means wedge-tailed and is derived from the Ancient Greek words oura (tail) and sphēnos (wedge).

The specific name whiteheadi refers to John Whitehead, a British explorer who collected the specimens based on which this species was described.

[8][11] A 2011 study of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA found that within the family, the present species is most closely related to the Asian and Timor stubtails.

[12] The top of the head and the upperparts are brown, while the underparts are greyish-white, turning grey at the side of the breast and the flanks.
