The Rwenzori double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris stuhlmanni), also called Stuhlmann's sunbird or the Rwanda double-collared sunbird, is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is found in the Ruwenzori range of mountains in south central Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the greater double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris afer). Some authors consider this bird to be part of a species complex with Cinnyris afer, where it joins Ludwig's double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris ludovicensis) and Prigogine's double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris prigoginei).
