The gold-ringed tanager (Bangsia aureocincta) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, endemic to Colombia. It is a plump, relatively short-tailed tanager with a distinctive gold ring around its face.

The bird is found in small numbers within a limited geographical area, and much of its breeding biology has yet to be described.
