Spelaeornis, the typical wren-babblers, is a bird genus in the family Timaliidae. Among this group, the typical wren-babblers are quite closely related to the type species, the chestnut-capped babbler (Timalia pileata). One species that was earlier placed in the genus, the spotted elachura has been removed to a genus of its own Elachura and placed in a separate family.

It contains the following species:

  • Rufous-throated wren-babbler, Spelaeornis caudatus
  • Rusty-throated wren-babbler, Spelaeornis badeigularis
  • Bar-winged wren-babbler, Spelaeornis troglodytoides
  • Naga wren-babbler, Spelaeornis chocolatinus
  • Grey-bellied wren-babbler, Spelaeornis reptatus - formerly included in S. chocolatinus
  • Chin Hills wren-babbler, Spelaeornis oatesi - formerly included in S. chocolatinus
  • Pale-throated wren-babbler, Spelaeornis kinneari - formerly included in S. chocolatinus
  • Tawny-breasted wren-babbler, Spelaeornis longicaudatus
