Lectavis is a genus of enantiornithine bird. Its fossil bones were recovered from the Late Cretaceous Lecho Formation at El Brete, Argentina. The genus contains a single species, Lectavis brevipedalis. It was a rather advanced species of enantiornithine and possibly quite closely related to Enantiornis and Avisaurus, though its exact relationships, as with most enantiornithine birds, are unresolved.
