The Roraiman antbird (Myrmelastes saturatus) is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae.

Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of the spot-winged antbird, but based on differences in voice and plumage it has been recommended that they are treated as separate species.[2][3] As presently defined, the Roraiman antbird includes the subspecies obscura.[4][5]

It is found in humid forest associated with the Tepuis of south-eastern Venezuela, Guyana and far northern Brazil (northern Roraima only). Although generally uncommon, it is considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International.[1]
