Atlas Flycatcher "Ficedula speculigera" is a bird in the an Old World flycatcher family, one of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers; it is endemic as a breeding species to North-west Africa.

It was formerly regarded as a race of European Pied Flycatcher, but Sætre "et al." (2001) recommended that it is regarded as a species in its own right. Identification is covered in Etherington and Small (2003) and van den Berg "et al." (2006).
