Megalurulus, the thicketbirds, is a genus of songbirds. Previously placed in the "Old World warbler" family Sylviidae, they do not seem to be a close relative of the typical warblers. More probably, they belong in the newly recognized grass-warbler family Locustellidae.
This genus contains the following species:
- New Caledonian thicketbird or New Caledonia grassbird, Megalurulus mariei
- New Britain thicketbird, Megalurulus grosvenori
- Bougainville thicketbird, Megalurulus llaneae
- Melanesian thicketbird, Megalurulus whitneyi
- Rusty thicketbird, Megalurulus rubiginosus
