栗鸮属（学名Phodilus）是鸟纲鸮形目草鸮科中的一个属，包括栗鸮和坦桑栗鸮两种。

The bay owls are barn owls of the genus Phodilus, subfamily Phodilinae.

Bay owls appear similar to other barn owls; they are generally smaller, have ear-like feather tufts, and have a more divided and U-shaped facial disk.

Most classification schemes recognize three species in this genus: the oriental bay owl (Phodilus badius), the Sri Lanka bay owl (Phodilus assimilis) and the Congo bay owl (Phodilus prigoginei).
