List of birds of Belgium

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Belgium. The avifauna of Belgium include a total of 477 species, of which 8 have been introduced by humans.

This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follows 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. Species accounts follow the Belgian Rare Birds Committee. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Belgium.

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 Belgium
• (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Belgium as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
• (Ex) Extirpated - a species that no longer occurs in Belgium although populations exist elsewhere
