Gymnorhina tibicen (Latham, 1802)

De zwartrugfluitvogel (Gymnorhina tibicen, synoniem: Cracticus tibicen) is een zangvogel uit de familie Artamidae (spitsvogels) en onderfamilie Cracticinae (orgelvogels). In het Engels wordt hij ook wel aangeduid als Australian magpie (Australische ekster) of piping shrike (letterlijk "fluitklauwier"). Ze maken een kenmerkend geluid. Een (oudere) Nederlandse naam voor deze vogel is Australische fluitkraai.
