The yellow-winged vireo, or Carmiol's vireo, (Vireo carmioli) is a small passerine bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. The yellow-winged vireo was originally described in 1866 as Vireo carmioli, its current binomial. Its specific epithet and alternate English name honor "Mr. Julian Carmiol, who has been so indefatigable in developing the ornithology of Costa Rica".
The yellow-winged vireo is monotypic. The yellow-winged vireo is 11 to 11.5 cm (4.3 to 4.5 in) long and weighs about 13 to 15 g (0.46 to 0.53 oz). The sexes have the same plumage.
