The chestnut-cheeked starling (Agropsar philippensis) is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. It breeds in Japan and the Russian islands of Sakhalin and Kuriles;[2] it winters to Taiwan, the Philippines and northern Borneo.

The chestnut-cheeked starling was previous placed in the genus Sturnus. It was moved to the resurrected genus Agropsar based of the results of two molecular phylogenetic studies that were published in 2008.[3][4][5]
