The buff-breasted paradise kingfisher is a bird in the tree kingfisher subfamily "Halcyoninae". It is native to Australia and New Guinea. Until recently the species was known as the white-tailed kingfisher. The name buff-breasted paradise kingfisher was first used in Australia by Graham Pizzey in 1980. Like all paradise kingfishers, this bird has colourful plumage with a red bill, buff breast, and distinctive long tail streamers.

During the breeding season from November to March, the buff-breasted paradise kingfisher is found in coastal northeast Queensland from islands in the Torres Strait and Cape York Peninsula south to Byfield, in central Queensland. Individual sightings have been recorded at Eurimbula National Park, south of Gladstone, and on islands of the Great Barrier Reef. The buff-breasted paradise kingfisher has been depicted on the 22 cents Australian stamp in 1980 and the 25 toea Papua New Guinea stamp in 1981.
