Clamator is a genus of large brood-parasitic cuckoos with crests and graduated tails.
The genus was erected by German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1829 with the great spotted cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) as the type species. The name Clamator is Latin for "he who shouts" from clamare, "to shout".
