Snowornis is a genus of birds in the family Cotingidae. The species were formerly included in the genus Lipaugus,

The genus Snowornis was introduced in 2001 by Richard Prum with the grey-tailed piha as the type species. The name was chosen to honour the ornithologist David W. Snow. His name is combined with the Ancient Greek ornis meaning "bird".[1] The genus is sister to the genus Carpornis which contains the two berryeaters.[2]

The genus contains two species.[3]
