Podilymbini is a potential tribe of waterbirds belonging to the family Podicipedidae containing the genera Podilymbus and Tachybaptus.

In comparison to Podicipedini, podilymbins are characterized by the lack of nuptial plumes and the chicks have rufous down in one or more patches on the crown.

Bochenski (1994) using comparative osteology studies found Podilymbini to also include the genera Poliocephalus and Rollandia.

[2] Fjeldså (2004) using a more comprehensive ecomorphological dataset found support of just Podilymbus and Tachybaptus as traditionally stated by Storer (1963).

[1][3] Ksepka et al. (2013) also conducted a morphological analysis and found Podilymbus to be the sister genus Rollandia.
