The Striolated Puffbird (Nystalus striolatus) is a species of puffbird in the Bucconidae family.

A disjunct population lives to the west in a narrow region in central Ecuador and northwestern Peru. The other major population is another disjunct group about 1500 km northeasterly and downstream on the south regions of the Amazon River outlet in the Brazilian state of Pará. More
