The spotted wood owl (Strix seloputo) is an owl of the earless owl genus, Strix. Its range is strangely disjunct; it occurs in many regions surrounding Borneo, but not on that island itself.
The three subspecies are:
- Strix seloputo seloputo - South Myanmar and central Thailand to Singapore. Also Jambi (Sumatra) and Java.
- Strix seloputo baweana - Endemic to Bawean Island off North Java
- Strix seloputo wiepkini - Calamian Islands and Palawan (Philippines)
