Tephrodornis or woodshrikes, is a genus of passerines in the Tephrodornithidae family. They were formerly placed in the Campephagidae (cuckooshrikes) by some, as they are far more conventional in habitus than the rather bizarre typical helmetshrikes of genus Prionops. They may be rather close to the diverse vangas but for the time being are placed in the Tephrodornithidae.
