Pseudoalcippe is a genus of passerine birds in the family Sylviidae that are found in Africa.

The genus was erected by the English ornithologist David Armitage Bannerman in 1923.[1] The type species is the Ruwenzori hill babbler.

The genus contains two species:[2]

These two species were previously considered as members of the

Sylvia in the family Sylviidae.[3][4] Some taxonomists now place both species in Sylvia.[5][6]
