The saw-wings, "Psalidoprocne", is a small genus of passerine birds in the swallow family. The common name of this group is derived from the rough outer edge of the outer primary feather on the wing, which is rough due to recurved barbs. The function of this is unknown. The genus has an African distribution. The species, in taxonomic order, are:

*Square-tailed Saw-wing "Psalidoprocne nitens"
*Mountain Saw-wing "Psalidoprocne fuliginosa"
*White-headed Saw-wing "Psalidoprocne albiceps"
*Black Saw-wing "Psalidoprocne pristoptera"
*Fanti Saw-wing "Psalidoprocne obscura"
