The russet-crowned warbler (Myiothlypis coronata) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

The russet-crowned warbler was formally described in 1844 with the binomial Myiodioctes coronatus. By the 1920s it had been reassigned to genus Basileuterus. By 2007 taxonomic systems had begun to resurrect genus Myiothlypis, which had been erected in 1850, for the russet-crowned warbler and many other species.

The russet-crowned warbler has these eight subspecies:

The russet-crowned warbler is about 14 cm (5.5 in) long and weighs 13.5 to 19.5 g (0.48 to 0.69 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies M. c. coronata have a mostly gray head with an orange-rufous crown stripe with black borders, a long thin black stripe through the eye, and a grayish white throat. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive-green with a slight bronze tinge on the upperparts. Their underparts are yellow. Juveniles have an olive-brown head, upperparts, and breast. Their median and greater wing coverts have cinnamon tips that show as two faint wing bars. Their belly is pale buffy yellow and their flanks and undertail coverts olive-buff.

The other subspecies of the russet-crowned warbler differ from the nominate and each other thus:

All subspecies have a brown iris, a black bill, and yellow-brown legs and feet.

The subspecies of the russet-crowned warbler are found thus:

The russet-crowned warbler inhabits the edges and interior of humid woodlands, montane forest, and cloudforest, and also mature secondary forest with a dense understory. In elevation it ranges between 1,800 and 2,800 m (5,900 and 9,200 ft) in Venezuela, between 1,400 and 3,200 m (4,600 and 10,500 ft) in Colombia, and mostly between 1,500 and 3,000 m (4,900 and 9,800 ft) in Ecuador. In Peru it is mostly between 1,500 and 2,900 m (4,900 and 9,500 ft) but locally occurs as low as 1,100 m (3,600 ft) and as high as 3,150 m (10,300 ft).
