The tit-tyrants are a group of small, mainly Andean, tyrant flycatchers from the genera Anairetes and Uromyias.

The tit-tyrants are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests. Tit-tyrants live in temperate or arid scrub habitats and are mainly found in the Andes mountains.del Hoyo 2004, p. 177 It is one of only a few genera of small flycatchers that occur at such high altitudes.del Hoyo 2004, p. 190
