Aulacorhynchus is a genus of bird in the Ramphastidae family. With a total length of 30-40 cm (12-16 in), they are relatively small toucans, and all are mainly green. All are found in humid forest and woodland in mountains, but a few also occur in adjacent lowlands. Changes in the taxonomy of Aulacorhynchus prasinus and A. sulcatus complexes have been proposed in recent years; see species articles for further on these matters.
This genus contains the following species:
- Blue-banded Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus coeruleicinctis)
- Chestnut-tipped Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus derbianus)
- Crimson-rumped Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus haematopygus)
- Yellow-browed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus huallagae)
- Emerald Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus)
- Wagler's Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) wagleri)
- Blue-throated Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) caeruleogularis)

- (North) Andean Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) albivitta)
- Black-throated or Peruvian Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) atrogularis)
