Chrysomma is a songbird genus. It is quite closely related to the parrotbills, and is therefore a member of the family Paradoxornithidae.

== Taxonomy == The genus Chrysomma was introduced in 1843 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. He designated the type species as Timalia hypoleuca Franklin 1831. This taxon is now one of subspecies of the yellow-eyed babbler. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khrusos meaning "gold" and omma meaning "eye".
