The Tickell's Thrush (Turdus unicolor) is a passerine bird in the thrush family Turdidae.

It is common in open forest in the Himalaya. Populations move further south in India in winter.

Tickell's Thrushes are omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, worms and berries. They nest in bushes or similar. They do not form flocks.

Males of this small thrush have uniform blue-grey upperparts, and a whitish belly and vent. Females and young birds have browner upperparts.
