The green-backed flycatcher (Ficedula elisae) is a bird in the Old World flycatcher family. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Narcissus flycatcher. It breeds in northeastern China and winters in southeast Asia.

"F. beijingnica", proposed as a separate species called Beijing flycatcher or Peking flycatcher, is now considered by experts to be the first-summer male of F. (n.) elisae and thus no longer a valid taxon .
