D'Arnaud's barbet is a species of bird in the family Lybiidae that is found in East Africa. Barbets and toucans are a group of birds with a worldwide tropical distribution. The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills. Three geographical races have been recorded. The usambiro barbet was previously regarded as a subspecies, but the 2021 taxonomic update to the IOC World Bird List upgraded this to full species status with the taxonomic name Trachyphonus usambiro.
