Malaconotus is a genus of bird in the bush-shrike family Malaconotidae . About 60% of the species formerly placed here are now usually separated in Telophorus. The old taxonomy is also often found though.
Malaconotus sensu stricto contains the following species:
- Fiery-breasted bushshrike, Malaconotus cruentus
- Lagden's bushshrike, Malaconotus lagdeni
- Green-breasted bushshrike, Malaconotus gladiator
- Grey-headed bushshrike, Malaconotus blanchoti
- Monteiro's bushshrike, Malaconotus monteiri
- Uluguru bushshrike, Malaconotus alius
Sometimes the olive bushshrike (Telophorus olivaceus) is included in this genus.
