The white-streaked antvireo or white-spotted antvireo (Dysithamnus leucostictus) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

The white-streaked antvireo was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1858 and given the binomial name Dysithamnus leucostictus.^[2] The specific name is from the Ancient Greek leukos "white" and stiktos "spotted".^[3]
