The Guadalcanal thicketbird (Cincloramphus turipavae) is a bird species. It used to be placed in the "Old World warbler" family Sylviidae, but it does not seem to be a close relative of the typical warblers; it belongs in the grass warbler family, Locustellidae. It is found on the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.
