The '''yellow-breasted warbler''' ('''''Phylloscopus montis''''') is a species of [[Old World warbler]] in the family [[Phylloscopidae]]. It is found in [[Indonesia]], [[Malaysia]], and [[Palawan]] Island in the [[Philippines]]. The species is most common on the islands of [[Sumatra]] and [[Borneo]] in Indonesia.

The yellow-breasted warbler was previously placed in the genus ''Seicercus''. A [[molecular phylogenetic]] study published in 2018 found that neither ''[[Phylloscopus]]'' nor ''Seicercus'' were [[monophyletic]].{{ cite journal | last1=Alström | first1=P. | display-authors=etal | year=2018 | title=Complete species-level phylogeny of the leaf warbler (Aves: Phylloscopidae) radiation | journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume=126 | pages=141–152 | doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2018.03.031 | pmid=29631054| s2cid=4720300 | url=https://zenodo.org/record/2587011 }} In the subsequent reorganization the two genera were merged into ''Phylloscopus'' which has priority under the rules of the [[International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature]].{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2018 | title=Bushtits, leaf warblers, reed warblers | work=World Bird List Version 8.2 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/bushtits/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=8 August 2018 }} |
