The black-and-cinnamon fantail (Rhipidura nigrocinnamomea ) is a species of bird in the fantail family Rhipiduridae. It is endemic to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. There are two subspecies, the nominate R. n. nigrocinnamomea, from central and southern Mindanao; and R. n. hutchinsoni in north, western and eastern Mindanao. The specific name is derived from Latin niger for black, and cinnamomeus for cinnamon.
The Black-and-cinnamon fantail is 16 cm (6.3 in) long and weighs 10.5–14.5 g (0.37–0.51 oz). The nominate subspecies has a black head with a prominent white eyebrow, the back, rump and tail are cinnamon coloured, the wings are black and cinnamon, the breast is white and the belly is orange-cinnamon. The subspecies R. n. hutchinsoni is similar to the nominate but lacks the white on the breast.
The Black-and-cinnamon fantail inhabits mid-montane forest from 980–2,440 m (3,220–8,010 ft). It feeds on insects. The species is not considered threatened in spite of having a small range, and is common where it occurs.
