The Christmas island-thrush (Turdus erythropleurus) is a species of passerine in the family Turdidae.

It was formerly considered a subspecies of Island thrush, but was classified as its own species in 2024 by the IOC and Clements checklist.

It is commonly found in most habitats on Christmas Island, including rainforest and gardens.

[5] The thrush breeds mainly from early October until the middle of March, though there are records from other months.

The main threat to the species, as well as to other Christmas Island endemic birds, is predation of its nestlings by introduced yellow crazy ants.
