The slender-billed greenbul (Stelgidillas gracilirostris) is a species in the monotypic genus of Stelgidillas of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in western and central Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The slender-billed greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus and was re-classified to the genus Stelgidillas in 2010. Alternatively, some authorities classify the slender-billed greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus. Alternate names for the slender-billed greenbul include the Cameroon sombre greenbul and Cameroon greenbul. The latter name should not be confused with the species of the same name, Arizelocichla montana.
Formerly, some authorities also considered the following species (or subspecies) as species within the genus Stelgidillas:
