Nesotriccus is a genus of Central and South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Nesotriccus was introduced in 1895 by the American zoologist Charles Haskins Townsend with Nesotriccus ridgwayi Townsend CH 1895, the Cocos tyrannulet as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek νησος/nēsos meaning "island" with the genus Triccus that had been introduced in 1846 by Jean Cabanis for a tody-tyrant.
