Calamanthus is a genus of bird in the family Acanthizidae.

A poorly researched genus, the alliance has been recognised as a single species treatment (Schodde, 1975) and later two species or provisionally three separate species.[1] Birds of the World: Recommended English Names lists the following three species:[2]

Calamanthus campestris, rufous fieldwren
Calamanthus fuliginosus, striated fieldwren
Calamanthus montanellus, Western fieldwren - sometimes considered a subspecies of the rufous fieldwren Calamanthus campestris (C. campestris montanellus)
