The redwing thrush breeds in northern regions of Europe and the [[Palearctic]], from [[Iceland]] south to northernmost [[Scotland]], and east through [[Scandinavia]], the [[Baltic States]], northern [[Poland]] and [[Belarus]], and through most of [[Russia]] to about [[165th meridian east|165°E]] in [[Chukotka Autonomous Okrug]]. In recent years it has expanded its range slightly, both in eastern Europe where it now breeds south into northern [[Ukraine]], and in southern [[Greenland]], where the [[Qaqortoq]] area was colonised in 1990–1991.<ref name=bwpc/><ref name=hbw/><ref name=thrushes/>

It is often replaced by the related [[ring ouzel]] in areas of higher altitude.<ref name=Observerbirdseggs>{{cite book |title=The Observer's Book of Birds' Eggs|author=Evans G|pages=78|year=1972 |publisher=Warne |location=London |isbn=0-7232-0060-2}}</ref>

The thrush is [[bird migration|migratory]], wintering in western, central and southern Europe, north-west Africa, and south-west Asia east to northern [[Iran]]. Birds in some parts of the west of the breeding range (particularly south-western [[Norway]]) may be resident, not migrating at all, while those in the far east of the range migrate at least 6,500–7,000&nbsp;km to reach their wintering grounds.<ref name=bwpc/><ref name=hbw/><ref name=thrushes/>

There are multiple records of vagrants from the north-east coast of North America, as well as two sightings on the north-west coast (one in Washington in 2005, and one in Seward, Alaska in November 2011).<ref name=thrushes/>
