The White-shouldered Black Tit (Parus guineensis), also known as the White-shouldered Tit, is a passerine bird in the tit family. It breeds in a belt across Africa from Senegal in the west to Kenya and Ethiopia in the east. It is sometimes considered conspecific with the more southerly White-winged Black Tit Parus leucomelas and, like that species, it is mainly black with a white wing patch, but differs in that it has a pale eye.
It is a resident in coniferous woodlands throughout its range, and nests in tree crevice. 4-6 reddish-brown blotched pinkish-white eggs are laid.
