The Patagonian forest earthcreeper (Upucerthia saturatior) is a species of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. The species was described in 1900 by W.E.D. Scott, but was listed as a subspecies of the scale-throated earthcreeper in Chapman in 1919. A 2009 paper elevated it back up to species status.[2]

The Patagonian forest earthcreeper is found in Argentina and Chile. It is thought to undertake some movements during the winter, with some individuals possibly crossing the Andes.[2]
