The Xingu screech owl (Megascops stangiae) is a species of owl in the family Strigidae.

[1] It is found only in the Tapajos-Xingu and Xingu-Tocantins of Brazil.

The holotype was collected in Serra dos Carajás.

It is closely related to tawny-bellied screech owl in both morphology and genetics, but could be differed by its longer song pace.

[2] This species was described in 2021, and thus recognized in Avibase taxonomic concepts.
