The trumpet manucode (Phonygammus keraudrenii) is species of bird in the family Paradisaeidae.

The trumpet manucode is named after its powerful and loud trumpeting calls. The scientific name commemorates the French Navy physician Pierre François Keraudren (1769-1858).

The trumpet manucode is widely distributed throughout lowland rainforests of northeastern Australia, New Guinea and nearby islands. This species is monogamous.
