Stout-legged wren is a common name referring to two species of extinct New Zealand wrens: the North Island stout-legged wren or Grant-Mackie's wren (Xenicus jagmi), and the South Island stout-legged wren or Yaldwyn's wren (Xenicus yaldwyni). These small birds were endemic to New Zealand and were previously included in the genus Pachyplichas.
