冠鸦（学名：Platylophus galericulatus），是鸦科冠鸦属的一种，分布于缅甸、文莱、泰国、印度尼西亚和马来西亚。全球活动范围约为1,530,000平方千米。该物种的保护状况被评为近危。 冠鴉在傳統上被視為鴉科的一屬，但在親緣關係上，它可能更接近於叢鵙科（Malaconotidae）或伯勞科（Laniidae）；因此，目前冠鴉被視為所屬不明而被歸入鴉科。 冠鸦的平均体重约为77.9克。栖息地包括亚热带或热带的湿润低地林和亚热带或热带的湿润山地林。

Encyclopedic overview
The crested jayshrike or crested shrikejay (Platylophus galericulatus), formerly known as the crested jay (despite not being a true jay), is a species of bird found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. It is the only member of the genus Platylophus and the family Platylophidae.
Although traditionally placed in the family Corvidae, its taxonomy has been under contention since the 2000s, as phylogenetic analyses indicate that it is not a true corvid, but rather a basal member of the Corvoidea radiation. Some authorities have suggested that it may belong to the helmetshrikes. In 2019, eBird and the Clements Checklist renamed the species the crested shrikejay and placed it in its own family, the Platylophidae, which was undescribed at the time. In 2021, the family Platylophidae was officially described, and in 2022 the International Ornithological Congress reclassified the species into Platylophidae. However, the family name Lophocittidae, originally described as Lophocitteae in 1855 by Johann Jakob Kaup, may have referred to the crested shrikejay, and if so would take precedence over Platylophidae.
