Henderson Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus taiti, is a passerine found on Henderson in the Pitcairn group of south-east Polynesia. It is the only reed warbler on the island and was first described in 1913 by Ogilvie-Grant. The bird lives in forest and scrub across the island, including coastal groves and inland woodland. Its most striking feature is its variable white plumage, with some individuals showing extensive leucistic patches and others appearing almost entirely white. It has a short, slightly downcurved bill and long legs and feet.
