The red-billed malkoha ( Zanclostomus javanicus) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry .
The genus Zanclostomus was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist William Swainson to accommodate the red-billed malkoha. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek zanklon meaning "sickle" or "reaping hook" with stoma meaning "mouth".
