Bradypterus is a genus of small insectivorous songbirds ("warblers") in the newly recognized grass warbler family (Locustellidae). They were formerly placed in the Sylviidae, which at that time was a wastebin taxon for the warbler-like Sylvioidea. The range of this genus extends through the warm regions from Africa around the Indian Ocean and far into Asia.

==Taxonomy== The genus Bradypterus (misspelled as Bradyptetus) introduced in 1837 by the English zoologist William Swainson to accommodate a single species, Bradypterus platyurus Swainson. This, the type species, is a junior synonym of Sylvia baboecala Vieillot, the little rush warbler. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek βραδυς/bradus meaning "slow" or "sluggish" with -πτερος/-pteros meaning "-winged".
