Uraeginthus is a genus of small seed-eating birds in the family Estrildidae that are found in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The genus was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1851.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the red-cheeked cordon-bleu.[2] The name Uraeginthus combines the Ancient Greek words oura "tail" and aiginthos for an unknown bird, perhaps a finch.[3]

It contains the following three species:[4]
