The White-faced Starling, Sturnus albofrontatus, is a member of the starling family of birds. It is an endemic resident breeder in Sri Lanka. It was for a long time erroneously known as S. senex; this was eventually identified as a junior synonym of the Red-billed Starling (Mees 1997).

The adults of these 22cm-long birds have green-glossed dark grey upperparts and whitish underparts. The head is paler than the underparts. The sexes are similar, but juveniles are duller, with brown upperparts and greyer underparts.

As the genus Sturnus is highly paraphyletic, it is not certain whether the present species will be retained therein. Though it has not been included in recent studies (Jønsson & Fjeldså 2006, Zuccon et al. 2006), its appearance suggests it is not close to the European Starling, the type species of Sturnus. It is also generally not included among those species which are often (and probably correctly) placed in Acridotheres.

This passerine is typically found in tall forest, usually high in the canopy. The White-faced Starling builds its nest in a hole. The normal clutch is two eggs.

Like most starlings, the White-faced Starling is fairly omnivorous, eating fruit, nectar and insects.
