Tachyphonus is a genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816 with the white-lined tanager as the type species.^[1]^[2] The name combines the Ancient Greek words takhus "fast" and phōneō "to speak".^[3]

A molecular phylogenetic study of the tanager family published in 2014 indicated that the genus as defined her is polyphyletic and paraphyletic relative to Lanio and Rhodospingus.^[4]^[5]^[6]

The genus includes 5 species:^[4]

Fulvous-crested tanager, Tachyphonus surinamus
Tawny-crested tanager, Tachyphonus delatrii
Ruby-crowned tanager, Tachyphonus coronatus
White-lined tanager, Tachyphonus rufus
Red-shouldered tanager, Tachyphonus phoenicius
