The orange-eyed flatbill or orange-eyed flycatcher (Tolmomyias traylori) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family. It is found in the Amazon (specifically in várzea forest) in south-eastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and north-eastern Peru. First recognized as a species due to its distinct voice, it was only described in 1997.
The binomial commemorates the American ornithologist Melvin Alvah Traylor Jr..
