Orange-bellied Leafbird, Chloropsis hardwickii, is a passerine of the Oriental Region, ranging from the Himalayas to northern Laos and the Malay Peninsula. It belongs to the leafbird family, Chloropseidae, and was described by Jardine and Selby in 1830. It is also found in Yunnan and the central and eastern Himalayas, and the greyish-crowned leafbird from Hainan is treated as the same species.
