The white-necked laughingthrush (Garrulax strepitans) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae.

The adult white-necked laughingthrush is about 32 cm (13 in) long and has a chestnut crown, a brownish-black face and throat and a rather diffuse white collar separating these from the body.

It resembles the grey laughingthrush (Garrulax maesi) apart from the darker head.

Its range includes central and northern Thailand, eastern Myanmar, western Laos and Yunnan province in southwestern China.

[3] The white-necked laughingthrush has a very wide range and is described as fairly common, apart from in China where it is described as rare.
