Zentrygon is a bird genus in the pigeon and dove family (Columbidae). Its members are called quail-doves and all live in the Neotropics.

The species of this genus primarily range from southern Mexico throughout Central America. Quail-doves are ground-dwelling birds that live, nest, and feed in dense forests. They are remarkable for their purple to brown coloration with light-and-dark facial markings.

The genus was introduced in 2013 with buff-fronted quail-dove as the type species.[1] It contains the following eight species:[2]

Tuxtla quail-dove or Veracruz quail-dove, Zentrygon carrikeri
Buff-fronted quail-dove or Costa Rica quail-dove, Zentrygon costaricensis
Purplish-backed quail-dove, Zentrygon lawrencii
White-faced quail-dove, Zentrygon albifacies
White-throated quail-dove, Zentrygon frenata
Lined quail-dove, Zentrygon linearis
Chiriqui quail-dove, Zentrygon chiriquensis
Russet-crowned quail-dove, Zentrygon goldmani
