Phaenicophilidae are a family of passerine birds endemic to the island of Hispaniola (split between the Dominican Republic and Haiti) and adjacent islands. The family contains four species in three genera. These species were historically classified within the families Thraupidae (tanagers) and Parulidae (New World warblers), but genetic studies have confirmed they form a distinct clade.
