Guttera is a genus of birds in the family Numididae. Established by Johann Georg Wagler in 1832, it contains four species:[2]

The name Guttera is a combination of the Latin words gutta, meaning "spot" and -fera, meaning "bearing" (from ferre: to bear).[3]

The four species are found in forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike other guineafowl, they have a distinctive black crest.
