Piprites is a genus of bird traditionally placed in the Pipridae family, although it remains unclear if this is correct. It is therefore considered incertae sedis by recent authorities such as SACC.[1] It contains the following species:
- Wing-barred piprites (Piprites chloris)
- Grey-headed piprites (Piprites griseiceps)
- Black-capped piprites (Piprites pileata)
