The Iraq babbler (Argya altirostris) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae, native to reed beds of the Tigris-Euphrates Valley.
It is found in Iraq and south-western Iran.
This species was formerly placed in the genus Turdoides but following the publication of a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus Argya.
