The New Ireland boobook (Ninox variegata) also known as the Bismarck hawk owl or Bismarck boobook, is a small to medium-sized owl measuring {{convert|25|to|30|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length.[2] It is a dark rufous-brown above, with barred scapular feathers and variable amounts of spotting or barring on the wings and tail. Its underparts are whitish, with an unmarked pale throat, a dark barred upper breast and barring on the remainder of the underparts. Its face is dark brown, its eyes are brown or yellow, and its bill and legs are yellow.[3] It is short-tailed and has heavy tarsi (the part of the leg above what is commonly referred to as the foot).[4]

Endemic to the Bismarck archipelago, it occurs on the islands of New Britain, New Ireland and New Hanover,[5] where it lives in forested lowlands, hills and mountains, up to an altitude of {{convert|1000|m|ft|abbr=on}}.[2]

It was first described as Noctua variegata by French naturalists Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard in 1830.[5]

Although its population size has not been quantified, it is widespread and fairly common in forest and forest edges within its range, and its numbers are thought to be stable.[6] Deforestation is thought to be a likely threat to the species.[7]
