The grey-fronted honeyeater (Ptilotula plumula) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae.

The grey-fronted honeyeater was originally described in 1841 by English ornithologist John Gould as Lichenostomus plumulus.

It was moved to the genus Ptilotula after a molecular phylogenetic analysis, published in 2011, showed that Lichenostomus was polyphyletic.

It has a small grey patch at the forehead, that may be obscure in northern subspecies.

Differences include the lores which are yellow grey and plumes that are narrower in the yellow-tinted honeyeater.
