The White-collared Yuhina (Yuhina diademata) is a bird species in the Old World babbler family (Timaliidae). But it may be a close relative of the white-eyes, and if the Zosteropidae are not abolished it could be placed there.

It is found in China, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
