The Atlas wheatear (Oenanthe seebohmi), also known as the black-throated wheatear or Seebohm's wheatear, is a small passerine bird which breeds in the Maghreb region of North Africa and winters in the western Sahel. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the northern wheatear (O. oenanthe) as O. o. seebohmi, but was reclassified as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021.
