Cincloramphus is a genus of birds in the grassbird family Locustellidae.
The genus Cincloramphus was introduced by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in 1838 with the brown songlark as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek kinklos meaning "thrush" with rhamphos meaning "bill".
