Sittiparus is a genus of birds in the tit family that is recognized by some authorities, such as the Handbook of the Birds of the World's Internet Bird Collection (2004–2007). It is often considered part of the genus Poecile, which many authorities in turn consider to be a subgenus of Parus. The following two Far Eastern species have been placed in it:
- White-fronted Tit, Sittiparus semilarvatus
- Chestnut-bellied Tit, Sittiparus castaneoventris
- Varied Tit, Sittiparus varius
- The subspecies Daito Varied Tit, S. v. orii, became extinct in the 1940s, the only tit to have done so.
- Iriomote Tit, Sittiparus olivaceus
