Kozlov's accentor (Prunella koslowi) or the Mongolian accentor, is a species of bird in the family Prunellidae. It is found in Mongolia and northern China .

The specific epithet was chosen to honour the Russian explorer Pyotr Kozlov.[2]

The name Tharrhaleus pallidus Menzbier, 1887 was published just months after the scientific name to which this species is now recognized: Accentor Koslowi Przewalski; therefore, it is a synonym of it.[3]
