林鸱科（学名：Nyctibiidae）是夜鹰目下的一个单型科，现存7种，分布于拉丁美洲地区。善于伪装，其羽毛颜色与树干相似，因此常在树上采取抬头直立的姿势，伪装成树干，捕食昆虫和小鸟。

Potoos (family Nyctibiidae) are a group of near passerine birds related to the nightjars and frogmouths. They are sometimes called poor-me-ones, after their haunting calls. There are seven species in one genus, Nyctibius, in tropical Central and South America.
