The bean goose is a species complex of goose that breeds in northern Europe and Eurosiberia. It has at least two distinct varieties, one inhabiting taiga habitats and one inhabiting tundra. These are recognised as separate species by the American Ornithologists' Union and the IOC (taiga bean goose, Anser fabalis, and tundra bean goose, Anser serrirostris), but are considered a single species by other authorities, such as the British Ornithologists' Union.^{[not verified in body]} The related pink-footed goose (Anser brachyrhynchus) has also been included in the species complex. It is migratory and winters further south in Europe and Asia.
