The Wakatobi white-eye (Zosterops flavissimus) is a species of bird in the family Zosteropidae. It is endemic to Indonesia, where it is known only from the Wakatobi Islands off south-eastern Sulawesi. It can be distinguished from most other Indonesian white-eyes by its bright yellow belly. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the lemon-bellied white-eye (Z. chloris), but it was long known to be reproductively isolated from the rest of the species, and a 2019 genetic study found it to be a distinct species.
