The ocellated woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus ocellatus) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

In July 2023 the IOC lumped Tschudi's into the ocellated woodcreeper, resulting in the same treatment as that of the SACC and Clements.

[2] The seven subspecies recognized by these taxonomic systems are:[4][5][2] However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) considers only X. o. perplexus and X. o. ocellatus as the ocellated woodcreeper.

It retains X. o. napensis, X. o. chunchotambo, and X. o. brevirostris as Tschudi's woodcreepr and treats X. o. lineatocapilla and X. o. beauperthuysii as the line-crowned woodcreeper.

The three "Tschudi's" subspecies are found in terra firme but are more common in montane forest and cloudforest.

Single birds and pairs frequently join mixed-species foraging flocks and occasionally follow army ant swarms.

[9] In much of Brazil it is a "short, fast, descending, rattling series of notes"[10] and in other parts "a rapid trill...'re-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eet' "[7].

[7] The IUCN follows HBW taxonomy and so has separately assessed the ocellated sensu stricto, "line-crowned", and "Tschudi's" woodcreepers.
