Moorea Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus longirostris, is a passerine found on Moorea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. It is confined to that island and occurs in second-growth forest and in Polynesian ohe thickets, with breeding thought to take place only in the latter. The species has two colour forms: a pale yellow light morph with brown mottling above, and a dark morph that is olive-brown. It was described by Gmelin in 1789 and belongs to the family Acrocephalidae.
