The spot-backed antshrike (Hypoedaleus guttatus) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is the only member of the genus Hypoedaleus. It is found in southeastern Brazil , eastern Paraguay and far northeastern Argentina . Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.

The spot-backed antshrike was described by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816 and given the binomial name Thamnophilus guttatus.[2] The genus Hypoedaleus was erected by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1860 with the spot-backed antshrike as the type species.[3][4] The specific name is from the Latin guttatus meaning "spotted" or "speckled". The name of the genus is from the Ancient Greek hupoidaleos meaning "somewhat swollen".[5] There are no recognised subspecies.[6]
