The blue-throated motmot (Aspatha gularis) is a species of bird in the family Momotidae.

[3] The blue-throated motmot is found from Oaxaca and Chiapas in Mexico south and east through Guatemala and a bit of El Salvador to Honduras.

It inhabits montane evergreen and pine forest of medium to high humidity.

[3] The blue-throated motmot forages by plucking insects, especially beetles, from foliage while flying.

In Guatemala it lays eggs in April, and a fledgling was collected in late May in Mexico.
