Some consider Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche chlororhynchos) and Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche carteri) to be subspecies rather than full species.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• chlororhynchos (Gmelin, 1789)   -  Tristan da Cunha, Gough I.
• bassi Mathews, 1912   -  Southern Indian Ocean. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche carteri).
• carteri (Rothschild, 1903)   -  Southern Indian Ocean. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche carteri).
