The plantcutters are a group of passerine birds in the cotinga family Cotingidae. They were previously in their own family, Phytotomidae.

These are robust birds of open woodland, scrub and farmland in tropical South America. They resemble finches, and feed on fruit and similar vegetable material.

They lay 2 - 4 brown-spotted green eggs in a tree nest, which are incubated by the female.

Species

* White-tipped Plantcutter, or Reddish Plantcutter, "Phytotoma rutila"
* Rufous-tailed Plantcutter or Chilean Plantcutter, "Phytotoma rara"
* Peruvian Plantcutter, "Phytotoma raimondii"
