The metallic-green tanager (Tangara labradorides) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.

The blue-and-black tanager was first described as Tanagra (Aglaia) labradorides by Auguste Boissonneau in 1840 on the basis of a specimen from Santa Fe, Colombia.

[3] Metallic-green tanager is the official common name designated by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).

However, phylogenetic studies have shown that the golden-naped tanager is only distantly related to the other two species in the group.

[4] DNA studies have shown that the rate of divergence between in nucleotide sequences between the two subspecies is higher than that of several other tanagers currently recognized as distinct species.
