The austral canastero (Asthenes anthoides) is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae, the ovenbirds. It is found in southern Argentina and Chile, including Tierra del Fuego. It is at least partially migratory, and its range extends north during the austral winter.
Its natural habitats are temperate shrublands and grasslands in non-arid portions of Patagonia.
It forages on the ground for insects and perches on shrubs for singing or when disturbed.
