Eumyias is a genus of birds in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.

==Taxonomy== The genus Eumyias was introduced in 1851 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis to accommodate a single species, Muscicapa indigo, the indigo flycatcher, that had been described by Thomas Horsfield in 1821. The genus name Eumyias combines the Ancient Greek ευ/eu meaning "fine" or "beauty" with the Modern Latin myias meaning "flycatcher".
