The white-throated jungle flycatcher (Vauriella albigularis) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is endemic to the Philippines. The natural habitats of the white-throated jungle flycatcher are tropical moist lowland forests and tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
This species was previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but was moved to Vauriella after a detailed molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Rhinomyias was polyphyletic.
