Subspecies
No subspecies.

Icterus dominicensis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Greater Antillean Oriole (Icterus dominicensis) and Black-cowled Oriole (Icterus prosthemelas) following AOU (2000), and Greater Antillean Oriole (Icterus dominicensis), Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi), Cuban Oriole (Icterus melanopsis) and Puerto Rican Oriole (Icterus portoricensis) following AOU (2010).

Often treated as conspecific with Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi), Cuban Oriole (Icterus melanopsis) and Puerto Rican Oriole (Icterus portoricensis), but molecular-genetic data indicate that they are better treated as separate species. Sometimes Black-cowled Oriole (Icterus prosthemelas) included within this group.
