Sunda Forktail, Enicurus velatus, is a bird of the Muscicapidae family that breeds in montane Sumatra and Java in the Oriental Region. It was described by Temminck in 1822. It is tied to boulder-strewn streams in tropical moist montane forest, and is found mainly from 600–2000 m, though it is sometimes recorded lower down. It is common in Sumatra and less so in Java. The species has two recognised subspecies, with the nominate form on Java and sumatranus in Sumatra.
