Melionyx is a genus of bird in the family Meliphagidae.

These species were formerly placed in the genus Melidectes.

They were moved to the resurrected genus Melionyx based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019.

At the same time, the common names were changed from "melidectes" to "honeyeater".
