List of birds of Algeria
Template:Short description Template:Use British English This is a list of the bird species recorded in Algeria. The avifauna of Algeria includes a total of 445 species.
This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2022 edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Algeria.
The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.
- (A) Accidental - a species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Algeria
- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Algeria
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Algeria as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
- (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Algeria although populations exist elsewhere
