Camptostoma is a small genus of tyrant flycatchers. It contains two species.

These are species of in light forests, cultivation and gardens with trees. The domed nest is made of plant fibre or leaves with a side entrance.
They are active birds, feeding in a vireo or warbler-like fashion on insects, spiders and berries.
