Ceblepyris is a genus of African passerine birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.
These species were formerly placed in the genus Coracina. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Coracina, as then defined, was non-monophyletic. In the resulting reorganization to create monophyletic genera these species were moved to the resurrected genus Ceblepyris.{{ cite journal | last1=Jønsson | first1=K.A. | last2=Bowie | first2=R.C.K. | last3=Nylander | first3=J.A.A. | last4=Christidis | first4=L. | last5=Norman | first5=J.A. | last6=Fjeldså | first6=J. | year=2010 | title=Biogeographical history of cuckoo-shrikes (Aves: Passeriformes): transoceanic colonization of Africa from Australo-Papua | journal=Journal of Biogeography | volume=37 | issue=9 | pages=1767–1781 | doi=10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02328.x | bibcode=2010JBiog..37.1767J | s2cid=52105369 }}
