Campephilus is a genus of large American woodpeckers in the family Picidae.

Taxonomy: The genus Campephilus was introduced by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840, with the ivory-billed woodpecker (Campephilus principalis) as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek kampē meaning "caterpillar" and philos meaning "loving". The genus is placed in the tribe Campephilini in the subfamily Picinae and is sister to a clade containing woodpeckers from Southeast Asia in the genera Chrysocolaptes, Blythipicus, and Reinwardtipicus.
