The serra antwren (Formicivora serrana) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is endemic to Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. It includes two subspecies: nominate and interposita. The latter closely resembles the restinga antwren, and recent morphological and vocal analysis suggests the restinga antwren should be included in the serra antwren.
