The rufous-faced antbird (Myrmelastes rufifacies) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in humid forest in the Brazil ian Amazon south of the Amazon River and east of the Madeira River.

The rufous-faced antbird was previously considered as a subspecies of the spot-winged antbird. A 2007 study of the vocal characteristics found that there were significant differences between the taxa and based on this evidence the rufous-faced antbird was promoted to species status.[2][3][4] As presently defined, the rufous-faced antbird is monotypic.[3]

The conservation status of the rufous-faced antbird has been assessed by BirdLife International to be of Least Concern.[1]
