Eocoracias is an extinct genus of bird related to modern rollers and other Coraciiformes such as kingfishers, bee-eaters, motmots, and todies.

It contains one species, Eocoracias brachyptera, and it lived approximately 47 million years ago (Lutetian stage) based on dating of the fossil site.

[1] It is known for a specimen having preserved non-iridescent structural coloration on its feathers, previously unknown in fossil birds.

[2] Fossils have been found at the Messel Pit in Germany.
