The Somali thrush (Turdus ludoviciae), also known as the Somali blackbird, is a songbird species in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to Somalia.

It has a black head and breast, yellow bill, brown back and wings and a grey belly with red sides.

Its natural habitats are montane juniper woodlands and open areas between 1,300-2,000 m. It is threatened by habitat loss and was formerly classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN.[2] Recent research has found that the loss of habitat is not as severe as first feared and the species is downlisted to Vulnerable in 2008.[3] Local conservation efforts have apparently aided in the protection of forests.
