Coracina is a large genus of birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.

The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816.

[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the white-bellied cuckooshrike by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850–1851.

It was split based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010.

A major clade was moved to the resurrected genus Edolisoma and a smaller group of Asian and Indian Ocean species moved to the genus Lalage.
