The Minas Gerais tyrannulet (Phylloscartes roquettei) is an Endangered species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers.

Both sexes have a dark brown iris, a black bill with an ashy to pale pinkish base to the mandible, and brownish gray to slate legs and feet.

It typically perches horizontally on a branch, usually with its tail slightly cocked up, and makes short sallies to snatch or hover-glean prey from leaves and twigs.

It typically forages in pairs or small family groups and only rarely as part of a mixed-species feeding flock.

Both sexes build the nest, a globe of thin rootlets, twigs, lichens, grasses, and dead leaves with a side entrance.

"Its habitat is probably the most threatened in central Brazil owing to its valuable [Myracrodruon urundeuva] wood and relatively fertile soils".
