The Strange-tailed Tyrant (Alectrurus risora) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family.
It is found in northeastern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and three small separated localities in southern Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
It is threatened by habitat loss, and is mostly extirpated (extinct) in Argentina. Approximately half of its range still exists in the north and northeast in southern Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, and western Uruguay.
