The Galapagos Flycatcher (Myiarchus magnirostris) also known as the Large-billed Flycatcher is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family. It is endemic to the Galapagos Islands, where it is present on all the main islands. The species was once placed in its own genus, Eribates, based upon a supposed "very long tarsus".
The Galapagos Flycatcher is 15–16 cm (5.9–6.3 in) in length, and is the smallest member of its genus.
Its natural habitats are tropical dry forests and tropical arid shrubland with cacti.
