The Papuan scrubwren (Aethomyias papuensis) is a species of bird in the family Acanthizidae. It is found in the highlands of New Guinea ; its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

This species was formerly placed in the genus Sericornis but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study of the scrubwrens in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus Aethomyias.[2][3]
