This is a list of the bird species recorded in Madeira. The avifauna of Madeira include a total of 356 species, of which two are endemic, and 9 have been introduced by humans. Two listed species are extinct.
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.[1] 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 Madeira.
The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.

- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Madeira
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Madeira as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
