The Greater Melampitta (Melampitta gigantea) is a species of bird in the Orthonychidae family. Formerly classified as a bird of paradise, the little-known Greater Melampitta has an uncertain taxonomy and is sometimes believed to be affiliated to Pitohuis, as it appears to be poisonous to eat (Frith and Beehler 1998). It is found in West Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes.
