"Fulvetta" is a songbird genus. Originally proposed in 1877, it was recently reestablished for the typical fulvettas, which were long included with their presumed relatives in the Timaliidae (Old World babbler) genus "Alcippe" [Collar & Robson (2007)] . But they are actually quite closely related to the typical warblers and therefore a member of the family Sylviidae.

It contains the following species:
* Spectacled Fulvetta, "Fulvetta ruficapilla"
* Chinese Fulvetta, "Fulvetta striaticollis"
* White-browed Fulvetta, "Fulvetta vinipectus"
* Grey-hooded Fulvetta, "Fulvetta cinereiceps"
* Taiwan Fulvetta, "Fulvetta formosana" - formerly in "F. cinereiceps"
* Streak-throated Fulvetta, "Fulvetta manipurensis" - formerly in "F. cinereiceps"
* Ludlow's Fulvetta, "Fulvetta ludlowi" - tentatively placed here
