The serra antwren (Formicivora serrana) is a species of insectivorous bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is endemic to Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil.

There are three subspecies:[2]

  • F. s. serrana (Hellmayr, 1929) – east Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo
  • F. s. interposita Gonzaga & Pacheco, 1990 – southeast Minas Gerais and northwest Rio de Janeiro

The restinga antwren (F. s. littoralis) has sometimes been treated as a separate species.[3]
