The black-fronted white-eye (Zosterops minor) is a songbird species. It is closely related to the Old World babblers, and its family Zosteropidae might better be included in the Tiimalidae. Some sources include this species within Z. atrifrons, the black-crowned white-eye.

It is found in New Guinea and offshore islands. Quite common, it is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
