Camaroptera is a genus of small passerine birds in the family Cisticolidae that are found in sub-Saharan Africa.

The genus was erected by the Swedish zoologist Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1850.

[2][3] The word Camaroptera comes from the Ancient Greek kamara for "arch" and pteron for "wing".

Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the green-backed and the grey-backed camaroptera are closely related,[6][7][8] and some taxonomists treat them as conspecific.
