The orange-spotted bulbul (Pycnonotus bimaculatus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is endemic to Java, Bali and Sumatra.
It favors forest edges and open meadows in montane forests.[2]
Taxonomy and systematics
The orange-spotted bulbul was originally described in the genus Turdus by Thomas Horsfield in 1821. Until 2016, the Aceh bulbul was considered as a subspecies of the orange-spotted bulbul until split by the IOC.[3] Most other authorities have not yet recognized this split.[4]

Two subspecies are recognized:[5]
- P. b. bimaculatus - (Horsfield, 1821): Found on south-western Sumatra, western and central Java
- P. b. tenggerensis - (van Oort, 1911): Found on eastern Java and Bali
