Hall's Babbler (Pomatostomus halli) is a species of bird in the Pomatostomidae family. It is endemic to Australia and was first described in 1964.

Name

Both its common and specific names commemorate Major Harold Wesley Hall, an Australian-born philanthropist who sponsored the British Museum's series of Harold Hall Australian Expeditions, which took place during the 1960s, and in the course of which the new babbler species was discovered.
