The Annam limestone babbler (Gypsophila annamensis), also known as the khướu đá hoa in Vietnamese, is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is native to the limestone hills of northern Indochina. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the variable limestone babbler (G. crispifrons) but a 2020 study recovered it as a distinct species.[1]

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
