The Annam prinia (Prinia rocki) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It and the Burmese prinia (P. cooki) were formerly lumped with Deignan's prinia (P. polychroa) as the brown prinia.[1][2]

It is found in the Đà Lạt Plateau of the Annamite Mountains in a small portion of southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia. It is monotypic and has no known subspecies. It was split from P. cooki and P. polychroa following a phylogenetic study published in 2019.[1][2][3]
