Laniocera is a genus of passerine birds in the family Tityridae.

It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where now placed by SACC.

They share the common name "mourner" with the species in the genera Schiffornis, Laniisoma and Rhytipterna.
