燕尾鸢（学名：Elanoides forficatus；英语：Swallow-tailed kite）是鹰形目鹰科燕尾鸢属下唯一一种鸟类。牠们分布于北美洲靠大西洋侧的海岸边，并也在中美洲及南美洲有所分布。在冬季来临前会形成大群南迁至南美洲过冬，并在春季时北迁回美国的海岸边繁殖。并生活于较为潮湿的地区，如湿草原和沼泽地带等地。主要为肉食性，但也会食用水果，是鹰科中少数会植食的特例。
燕尾鸢全身黑白，其最明显的特征就是其深深分岔的叉状尾巴，这种尾巴构造让牠们得以在飞行时保持方向及有较好的可控性。并也因此特征不容易跟其他物种搞混。目前有两个亚种，取决在于其成鸟身上的光泽是蓝紫色或者绿色。繁殖时采一夫一妻制，每次产1—3颗蛋，28—31天孵化，40天后开始离巢。牠们曾受到狩猎、栖地改变、蛋的过度采集而数量有所下降，并因此在美国部分地区消失，但1950年代以后数量开始逐步回升。也因分布范围广大，故在《国际自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录》被列入无危物种。
