Baiomyini is a tribe of rodents in the subfamily Neotominae occurring from the southern United States to Panama. It includes the genera Baiomys and Scotinomys, with a total of five living species.

Baiomyini rodents 'sing'; they chirp to find a mating partner as well as to locate each other when they spread out.
