Cercomacroides is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.

The genus contains six species:^[1]

Image	Common Name	Scientific Name	Distribution
	Willis's antbird	Cercomacroides laeta	northern Amazonia and Pernambouc forests
-	Parker's antbird	Cercomacroides parkeri	Colombian Andes
	Blackish antbird	Cercomacroides nigrescens	Amazonia and northeastern Guianas

	Dusky antbird	Cercomacroides tyrannina	Central America, Tumbes–Chocó–Magdalena, Colombian/Venezuelan Andes and northern Amazonia
	Black antbird	Cercomacroides serva	western Amazonia

These species were formerly placed in the genus Cercomacra. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Cercomacra, as then defined, was polyphyletic.^[2] The genus was split to create monophyletic genera and six species were moved to the newly erected genus Cercomacroides with the dusky antbird as the type species.^[1][2]
