No subspecies.

Forms a superspecies with Balearic Warbler (Sylvia balearica) and until recently considered conspecific. Genetic studies suggest that both are more closely related to Tristram's Warbler (Sylvia deserticola) than to Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata) and all species form a clade. They are part of a group that also contains Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata), Balearic Warbler (Sylvia balearica), Tristram's Warbler (Sylvia deserticola), Spectacled Warbler (Sylvia conspicillata), Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala), Rueppell's Warbler (Sylvia ruppeli) and Cyprus Warbler (Sylvia melanothorax).
