The western fieldwren or calamanthus (Calamanthus montanellus) is a species of bird in the Acanthizidae family, endemic to southwestern Australia. It is often considered a subspecies of the rufous fieldwren, most notably by Christidis and Boles in their 2008 work, but as a separate species by many other authorities including the IOC.
