Vanikoro Whistler, Pachycephala vanikorensis, is a passerine in the whistler family that lives on Vanikoro in the south-east Santa Cruz Islands of the Solomon Islands. It is endemic to that part of the archipelago. The species is treated as monotypic, with no recognised subspecies. Nendo Whistler and Utupua Whistler were once included with it, and the group was formerly known as Temotu Whistler. It was also previously placed within the wider Golden Whistler complex, now the Australian Golden Whistler.
