This is a list of the bird species recorded in Panama. The avifauna of Panama included a total of 1020 species as of July 2023, according to Bird Checklists of the World (Avibase).^[1] Three species have been added from other sources. Of the 1021 species, 125 are rare or accidental and six have been introduced by humans. Seven are endemic. An additional accidental species has been added from another source.

This list is presented in the taxonomic sequence of the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds, 7th edition through the 63rd Supplement, published by the American Ornithological Society (AOS).^[2] Common and scientific names are also those of the Check-list, except that the common names of families are from the Clements taxonomy because the AOS list does not include them.

The following tags have been used to highlight several categories of occurrence. The tags and notes of population status are from Bird Checklists of the World.
