The Tropical Scrubwren or Beccari's Scrubwren (Sericornis beccarii) is a bird species. Placed in the family Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this has met with opposition and indeed is now known to be wrong; they rather belong to the independent family Acanthizidae.

It is found in tropical moist forests of northern Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

It is now^[when?] considered conspecific with the Large-billed Scrubwren, S. magnirostris.
