The Halmahera golden bulbul (Hypsipetes chloris) is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family of Pycnonotidae. It is found in Morotai, Halmahera and Bacan Islands, Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

The Halmahera golden bulbul was formerly considered conspecific with five other bulbuls, all called the northern golden bulbul before they were all split. This bulbul is now placed with 24 other species in the genus Hypsipetes and was introduced in 1831 by Nicholas Vigors. ^{[2] [3]}
