Fasciated Wren, Campylorhynchus fasciatus, is a bird of the wren family that breeds in South America, in Ecuador and Peru. It is mainly associated with dry and semi-dry country, especially thorn scrub, and also uses citrus orchards and other heavily altered places. In Ecuador it can be found in wetter woodland too. The species occurs from sea level up to 1,500 m, and reaches 2,500 m. Two subspecies are recognised, with the southern form paler and less clearly marked below.
