Myiotheretes is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. These superficially thrush-like birds are large tyrants (19–24 cm/7.5-9.5 in long) of the Andean highlands. The red-rumped bush tyrant is considered closely related.

The genus contains the following four species:[1]

  • Smoky bush tyrant (Myiotheretes fumigatus)
  • Rufous-bellied bush tyrant (Myiotheretes fuscorufus)
  • Santa Marta bush tyrant (Myiotheretes pernix)
  • Streak-throated bush tyrant (Myiotheretes striaticollis)
