Bathmocercus Reichenow 1895

Bathmocercus is a genus of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It contains the following species:

• Black-headed rufous warbler (Bathmocercus cerviniventris)
• Black-faced rufous warbler (Bathmocercus rufus)

Species from the genus Scepomycter are sometimes placed in this genus though several marked morphological differences are used to justify its separation.
