Baeolophus is a genus of bird, commonly known as titmice in the Paridae family, all of which are native to North America. In the past, most authorities retained Baeolophus as a subgenus within the genus Parus, but treatment as a distinct genus, initiated by the American Ornithologists Union, is now widely accepted.
It contains the following species:
- Tufted Titmouse, Baeolophus bicolor
- Black-crested Titmouse, Baeolophus atricristatus - formerly included in B. bicolor
- Bridled Titmouse, Baeolophus wollweberi
- Oak Titmouse, Baeolophus inornatus
- Juniper Titmouse, Baeolophus ridgwayi - formerly included in B. inornatus
