The bristle-nosed barbet (Gymnobucco peli) is a bird species in the family Lybiidae. It used to be placed in the family Bucconidae (puffbirds), which has been split up; alternatively, it may be included in a vastly expanded Ramphastidae (toucans).
Its range covers areas near the Gulf of Guinea (on either side of the Dahomey Gap), from eastern Sierra Leone to far northwestern Angola.
