List of birds of Martinique

This is a list of the bird species recorded in Martinique. Martinique is an overseas department of France located in the Windward Islands, part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean.

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, 2016 version.[1]

Unless noted otherwise, the list is that of Bird Checklists of the World as of May 2005.[2] Additional species seen between that date and April 2017 are from eBird.[3]

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

The Bird Checklists of the World list contains 208 species, of which one is endemic, 132 are rare or accidental, 11 have been introduced, and one has been extirpated. (Five of the introduced species are also rare.) An additional 11 species, at least six of which are introduced, are added from eBird.
