Pellorneum is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae. Some of its species were formerly placed in the genus Trichastoma.

The genus Pellorneum was introduced in 1832 by the English naturalist William Swainson with Pellorneum ruficeps, the puff-throated babbler, as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek pellos meaning "dark-coloured" with orneon meaning "bird".[3]

The genus contains the following 18 species:[4]

Puff-throated babbler (Pellorneum ruficeps)
Brown-capped babbler (Pellorneum fuscocapillus)
Marsh babbler (Pellorneum palustre)
Malayan black-capped babbler (Pellorneum nigrocapitatum)
Javan black-capped babbler (Pellorneum capistratum)
Bornean black-capped babbler (Pellorneum capistratoides)
Mourning babbler (Pellorneum malaccense) – "short-tailed babbler" before split
Glissando babbler (Pellorneum saturatum) – split from P. malaccense
Leaflitter babbler (Pellorneum poliogene) – split from P. malaccense
Ashy-headed babbler (Pellorneum cinereiceps)
Spot-throated babbler (Pellorneum albiventre)
Buff-breasted babbler (Pellorneum tickelli)
Sumatran babbler (Pellorneum buettikoferi)
Temminck's babbler (Pellorneum pyrrogenys)
Malayan swamp babbler (Pellorneum rostratum) – "white-chested babbler" before split
Bornean swamp babbler (Pellorneum macropterum) – split from P. rostratum
Ferruginous babbler (Pellorneum bicolor)
Sulawesi babbler (Pellorneum celebense)
