Fraseria is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that are found in Sub-Saharan Africa.

==Taxonomy== The genus Fraseria was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte to accommodate Fraser's forest flycatcher. The genus name was chosen to honour the English natural history dealer and collector Louis Fraser.
