The long-tailed manakin (Chiroxiphia linearis) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae native to Central America where it inhabits both wet and dry tropical and subtropical forests.

Males have black plumage with a blue back and a red crown, and the two central tail feathers are greatly elongated.

At breeding time, males are involved in a cooperative lekking behaviour with a complex coordinated courtship dance.
