Spectacled Tyrannulet, Zimmerius improbus, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family that breeds in South America, in Venezuela and Colombia.

Its breeding range is split into separate populations, and the bird is known by the scientific name given by Sclater and Salvin in 1871. The species is also associated with the name mountain tyrannulet in some recent treatments.
