The Gray's Grasshopper Warbler, ''Locustella fasciolata'', is an Old World Warbler in the Grass Warbler genus '' Locustella ''. It breeds from western Siberia east to Sakhalin Island , Japan and Korea . It is Migratory , wintering in southeast Asia .

This small Passerine Bird is a species found in lowland and coastal regions, nesting in forests or thickets.

This is the largest of all the Locustella warblers, approaching the size of the Great Reed Warbler . The adult has an unstreaked olive-brown back, uniformly grey breast and buff underparts, with unmottled dull orange under tail-coverts.

The song is a short phrase, loud and distinctive, and nothing like the Insect -like reeling of European Locustella species, and more musical than that of the Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler .
