Ochthoeca is a genus of birds in the family Tyrannidae.

In recent times, it has usually contained the following species:

• Brown-backed chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca fumicolor
• White-browed chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca leucophrys
• Piura chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca piurae
• D'Orbigny's chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca oenanthoides
• Rufous-breasted chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca rufipectoralis
• Slaty-backed chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris
  • Maroon-belted chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris thoracica
• Crowned chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca frontalis
  • Kalinowski's chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca frontalis spodionota
• Jelski's chat-tyrant Ochthoeca jelskii
• Yellow-bellied chat-tyrant Ochthoeca diadema
• Golden-browed chat-tyrant Ochthoeca pulchella

But it has turned out that the last three, which some had considered to belong in Silvicultrix, may form a distinct genus. However, they are anatomically very similar and the genetic data may to be inconsistent, so the question is not fully resolved.
