Schiffornis is a genus of South American bird in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, where now placed by SACC. In addition to schiffornis, they are sometimes referred to as mourners; a name shared with members of the genera Laniocera, Laniisoma and Rhytipterna.

The genus Schiffornis was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. Although Bonaparte listed three species in his new genus, two of these were undescribed and therefore nomina nuda. The remaining species, Muscicapa turdina Wied-Neuwied, 1831, the brown-winged schiffornis, becomes the type species of the genus by virtual monotypy. The genus name Schiffornis combines the last name of the German physiologist Moritz Schiff with the Ancient Greek ορνις/ornis, ορνιθος/ornithos meaning "bird".

The genus contains seven species.
