The rufous limestone babbler (Gypsophila calcicola) is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is endemic to the limestone hills of central Thailand. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the variable limestone babbler (G. crispifrons) but a 2020 study recovered it as a distinct species.[1][2]

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
