Melanodryas is a genus of passerine birds in the Australasian robin family Petroicidae. These species are found in New Guinea and Australia.
The genus was introduced by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in 1865 with Muscicapa cucullata Latham, the hooded robin, as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek melanos "black" with dryad "tree-nymph".
