Grallina is a genus of passerine bird native to Australia and New Guinea. It is a member of a group of birds termed monarch flycatchers.

== Taxonomy == === Higher taxonomy === Long thought to be a member of the mudnest builder family Corcoracidae, the magpie-lark and torrent-lark have been reclassified in the family Monarchidae (the monarch flycatchers).
