The Venezuelan tyrannulet (Zimmerius petersi) is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in northern Venezuela.

The Venezuelan tyrannulet was formerly considered to be conspecific with Zimmerius improbus (now spectacled tyrannulet) but the two species were split after a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that they were not closely related.[2][3]
