The São Tomé oriole (Oriolus crassirostris), or great-billed oriole, is a species of bird in the family Oriolidae. The species was named by Gustav Hartlaub in 1857. It is endemic to the island of São Tomé. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Once found throughout the island, they can now no longer be found within the São Tomé town area or in Neves and coastal Caué.
The São Tomé oriole is threatened by habitat loss of the remaining lowland rainforest of São Tomé.
