Touit is a genus of Neotropical parrots in the family Psittacidae.

The genus name is derived from the extinct Tupi language that was spoken by native people in Brazil: Tuàeté means "really little parrot". In 1648 the German naturalist Georg Marcgrave used Tuiete for a small parrot in his Historia Naturalis Brasiliae.
The genus contains the following eight species:
