The yellow-breasted bowerbird (Chlamydera lauterbachi) also known as Lauterbach's bowerbird, is a medium-sized, approximately 27 cm long, bowerbird with a brownish-olive upperparts plumage, grayish-yellow upper breast, coppery crown, dark brown iris, yellow underparts, a black bill and pinkish-orange mouth.

The yellow-breasted bowerbird is distributed on mainland New Guinea, where it inhabits grasslands, lowlands, and subtropical mountain forests.

Its diet mainly consists of fruits, caterpillars, beetles, and other insects.

The nest is a shallow cup made of small sticks located in a tree.

The scientific name commemorates its discoverer, the German botanist Carl Lauterbach.
