Nyctibius is a genus of potoos, nocturnal birds in the family Nyctibiidae.
== Etymology == The genus Nyctibius was introduced in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot to accommodate a single species, Comte de Buffon's "Le Grand Engoulevent de Cayenne", the great potoo, which thus becomes the type species. The genus name is from Ancient Greek nuktibios meaning "night-feeding", from nux night and bios "life".
