The Humaita antbird (Myrmelastes humaythae) is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in humid forest in the south-western Amazon in Brazil and Bolivia.

Until recently, the Humaita antbird was considered a subspecies of the spot-winged antbird. A 2007 study of the vocal characteristics found significant differences between the taxa and based on this evidence the Humaita antbird was promoted to species status.^[2]^[3]^[4] As presently defined, the Humaita antbird is monotypic.^[3]

The conservation status of the Humaita antbird has been assessed by BirdLife International to be of Least Concern.^[1]
