Subspecies
No subspecies.

Recent genetic study suggests that Black-browed Reed-Warbler (Acrocephalus bistrigiceps), Moustached Warbler (Acrocephalus melanopogon), Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) and Sedge Warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) form a monophyletic clade, the "striped reed-warbler group", in which traditionally Streaked Reed-Warbler (Acrocephalus sorghophilus) is also included. Was in the past sometimes treated as conspecific with White-browed Reed-Warbler (Acrocephalus tangorum), but recent DNA studies indicate genetic difference between the two in excess of 9.5%, and morphological studies support treatment as separate species.
