Heliodoxa is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae.

==Taxonomy== The genus Heliodoxa was introduced in 1850 by the English ornithologist John Gould. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek hēlios meaning "sun" and doxa meaning "glory" or "magnificence". The type species was subsequently designated by Charles Lucien Bonaparte as the violet-fronted brilliant.
