Cyornis is a genus of birds in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae most of which are native to Southeast Asia.
Species
The genus contains the following 32 species:[2]
- Hainan blue flycatcher (Cyornis hainanus)

- White-bellied blue flycatcher (Cyornis pallidipes)
- Pale-chinned blue flycatcher (Cyornis poliogenys)
- Hill blue flycatcher (Cyornis whitei)
- Javan blue flycatcher (Cyornis banyumas)
- Dayak blue flycatcher (Cyornis montanus) Sometimes considered a subspecies of Cyornis banyumas[3]
- Meratus blue flycatcher (Cyornis kadayangensis) – described in 2021
- Large blue flycatcher (Cyornis magnirostris)
- Palawan blue flycatcher (Cyornis lemprieri)
- Tickell's blue flycatcher (Cyornis tickelliae)

- Malaysian blue flycatcher (Cyornis turcosus)
- Mangrove blue flycatcher (Cyornis rufigastra)
- Kalao blue flycatcher (Cyornis kalaoensis) – split from C. rufigastra
- Sulawesi blue flycatcher (Cyornis omissus) – includes Tanahjampea blue flycatcher as a subspecies
- White-tailed flycatcher (Cyornis concretus)
- Brown-chested jungle flycatcher (Cyornis brunneatus)
- Nicobar jungle flycatcher (Cyornis nicobaricus)
- Fulvous-chested jungle flycatcher (Cyornis olivaceus)
- Grey-chested jungle flycatcher (Cyornis umbratilis)
- Crocker jungle flycatcher (Cyornis ruficrissa) Sometimes considered a subspecies of Cyornis ruficauda[3]
- Philippine jungle flycatcher (Cyornis ruficauda)
- Sulu jungle flycatcher (Cyornis ocularis) Sometimes considered a subspecies of Cyornis ruficauda[3]
- Sula jungle flycatcher (Cyornis colonus)
- Banggai jungle flycatcher (Cyornis pelingensis)
Seven of the above species, all with "jungle flycatcher" in their English names, were previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but were moved to Cyornis based on the results of a 2010 molecular phylogenetic study.[5] There are also "jungle flycatchers" in the genus Vauriella.[2]
