The Bolivian Slaty-Antshrike (Thamnophilus sticturus) is a species of bird in the Thamnophilidae family. It is found in Bolivia (departments of Beni, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz), Brazil (the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul), and northern Paraguay (Alto Paraguay department). It was previously included in the widespread Slaty Antshrike (T. punctatus), but following the split, this scientific name is now restricted to the Guianan Slaty-Antshrike.

It occurs at low levels in forest and woodland; especially in places with dense growth.
