The streak-crowned antvireo (Dysithamnus striaticeps) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds".

Adult males have a dark gray forehead, crown, and nape with heavy grayish white streaking.

Their tail is dark grayish olive with narrow white tips on the feathers.

Subadult males resemble adult females but with grayer upperparts and whiter underparts.

It feeds deliberately, generally by gleaning while perched from live foliage, vines, stems, and thin branches.

[4][6][7] The streak-crowned antvireo breeds between March and June in Costa Rica; its season elsewhere has not been defined.
