Subspecies
No subspecies.

Icterus galbula (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Northern Oriole (Icterus galbula), Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockiorum) and Black-backed Oriole (Icterus abeillei) following AOU (1998).

DNA data indicate that this is sister-species of Black-backed Oriole (Icterus abeillei). Formerly treated as conspecific with Black-backed Oriole (Icterus abeillei) and with Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockiorum). Hybridizes extensively with Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockiorum) in a belt from southern Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan) southern in Great Plains to southern USA (Oklahoma and Texas), but assortative mating (or selection against hybrids) evident at several locations.
