The Grey-headed Sunbird, Anthreptes axillaris, is a small passerine bird which breeds in mixed forest in Zaire, Uganda and Tanzania.

This sunbird is often treated as a subspecies of Scarlet-tufted Sunbird, Anthreptes fraseri, but is not known to intergrade. Both taxa are often placed in Deleornis.
