Anaplectes is a genus of African birds in the weaver family Ploceidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Anaplectes was introduced in 1863 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. The type species was subsequently designated by Richard Bowdler Sharpe as Ploceus leuconotus Müller, JW 1851, now a subspecies of the red-headed weaver (Anaplectes rubriceps).
