The Siberian Grouse, Falcipennis falcipennis, is a medium sized grouse.

They are very similar to the North American Spruce Grouse, to which they are closely related.

The Siberian grouse mostly occurs in forests of spruce, fir, larch and pine. Their range is far eastern Russia, and a small population formerly inhabited the far north east of China, where they are probably now extinct.
