Gliciphila is a genus of honeyeaters endemic to Australia, New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
==Taxonomy== The genus Gliciphila was introduced in 1837 by the English zoologist William Swainson to accommodate a single species, Certhia fulvifrons Lewin, 1808. This is the type species. The name is a junior synonym of Certhia melanops Latham, 1801, the tawny-crowned honeyeater. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek γλυκυς/glukus meaning "sweet" or "sweet tasting" with φιλος/philos meaning "lover".
