The Yasuni antwren (Epinecrophylla fjeldsaai), also called brown-backed antwren or Yasuni stipplethroat, is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Ecuador and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

The Yasuni antwren was described in 1999 and given the binomial name Mymotherula fjeldsaai.[2] The present genus Epinecrophylla was introduced in 2006.[3] Some ornithologists have proposed that the Yasuni antwren should be treated as a subspecies of the Napo stipple-throated antwren (Epinecrophylla haematonota).[4][5]
