Bachman's Warbler, Vermivora bachmanii, was a small passerine bird that inhabited the swamps and lowland forests of the southeast United States. This warbler was a migrant, wintering in Cuba.

Bachman's Warbler is presumed extinct, and was most likely never common. The last sightings were in the mid 1900's in South Carolina. Habitat destruction was probably the main cause of its disappearance.

This bird was named by John James Audubon after his friend and collaborator, the Reverend John Bachman.
