The Javan black-capped babbler (Pellorneum capistratum) is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is endemic to the island of Java in Indonesia. The Malayan black-capped babbler (P. nigrocapitatum) and the Bornean black-capped babbler (P. capistratoides) were both formerly considered conspecific, but were split from it in 2021.[2] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
