Fluvicola is a genus of birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.

The genus was introduced by the English naturalist William John Swainson in 1827.[2] He designated the type species as the masked water tyrant (Fluvicola nengeta) in 1831.[3][4] The genus name is derived from a combination of Latin fluvius meaning "river" and -cola meaning "dweller".[5]
