Heteromyias is a genus of passerine birds in the Australasian robin family Petroicidae.
The genus was introduced by the English zoologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1879 with the grey-headed robin (Heteromyias cinereifrons) as the type species. The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek "different" and the Modern Latin "flycatcher".
