Green Malkoha, Ceuthmochares australis, is a cuckoo in the family Cuculidae that breeds in eastern Africa from Ethiopia and Somalia south to Mozambique and South Africa. It was described by Sharpe in 1873. It is found in forested country, including dense forest, riverine forest and forest edges, and in woodland it uses the subcanopy. Its tail, wings and back are green. It was once treated as the same species as the blue malkoha, under the name yellowbill.
