The yellow-spotted honeyeater (Meliphaga notata) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae.

The bird's common name refers to the yellow patch that members of the species have behind their eyes.

The yellow-spotted honeyeater belongs to the order Passeriformes and the family Meliphagidae.

[9] The bird largely lives in the tropical rainforests of North Queensland in extreme northeastern Australia, between Mackay and northern Cape York Peninsula.

[7] Yellow-spotted honeyeaters typically live at elevations of 200 metres (660 ft) or greater.

[7][11] While the birds typically live in forests, they have been known to visit suburbs with sufficient tree cover.

[15] The call of the yellow-spotted honeyeater has been described as a metallic, high-pitched and "rattling song consisting of four to five 'ee-yeu' repetitions".

[18] The nest of the yellow-spotted honeyeater is cup-shaped, usually secured at three points, and made of interwoven bark and light plant material.

[7] The eggs of the yellow-spotted honeyeater range between inclined and elliptical and have a glossy surface.
