The orange-crowned fairywren (Clytomyias insignis) is a species of passerine bird in the Australasian wren family, Maluridae.

[2] It is found on New Guinea in its natural habitat of subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Two subspecies are recognised: Unlike many other species of fairywren, there is no sexual dimorphism as the male and female have the same plumage.

[3] The orange-crowned fairywren is found in thick undergrowth of montane rainforest at an altitude of 2,000–3,000 m (6,600–9,800 ft).

The orange-crowned fairywren is generally encountered in pairs or small groups of six to eight birds.
