The White-crowned Hornbill ("Berenicornis comatus"), also known as the White-crested Hornbill (leading to easy confusion with the African "Tropicranus albocristatus"), is a species of hornbill found in forests in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. It is monotypic within the genus "Berenicornis", but rarely the White-crested Hornbill is also included in this genus, whereas the White-crowned Hornbill sometimes is placed in "Aceros" instead.

It is threatened by habitat loss.
