Periporphyrus is a genus of grosbeaks in the cardinal family Cardinalidae.
The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1850. The type species was subsequently designated as the red-and-black grosbeak. The name Periporphyrus combines the Ancient Greek peri meaning "exceedingly" with porphureos meaning "rosy".
