The Rifleman (Acanthisitta chloris), or Tītitipounamu in Māori is a small insectivorous passerine bird that is endemic to New Zealand. The bird resembles a wren in form but is not linked to the family of true wrens, Troglodytidae.

It belongs to the Acanthisittidae family, which experts believe is related to Pittidae. All other members of the family are either vulnerable or extinct.
